Mountain Lion Server cannot create NetBoot images for earlier systems

I'm trying to create a NetBoot image for OS X Lion on my Mountain Lion Server using System Image Utility, but SIU shows the 10.8 installer as the only available disk for creating an image.

The same 10.7 boot disk is shown as source correctly in Lion Serevr SIU.

Does SIU limits the creation of NetBoot image only for the same OS X version or am I missing something?

Ideas?

Thank you!

MacBook, OS X Server, 10.8.4

Yes. SIU for Mountain Lion only makes images of Mountain Lion.

To make images for Lion, you'll need to download the Server Essentials package for 10.7.5 and install it onto a Lion system.
