I am unable to netboot I need some advice. I have a mac mini server and many client macs all on the same subnet with a windows dhcp server on a different subnet. I set option 66 for dhcp to point to the mac server but still there are not launching the netboot program. It goes past the blinking globe graphic and then goes to the apple logo+globe then goes spinning circle then nothing.
thanks in advance!
it sounds like the default OSX mage on your server is panicking when it's loaded on your clients.
This can happen if the image is an older version of OSX than needed by the client machine.
You can try booting in verbose mode ( command + v ) to see an indication of where it is failing.

Thank you piperspace! I actually just realized this morning that the image was made available via http versus nfs so my thinking is that our web filter or firewall was blocking it once I switched it to nfs it starting working. Thank you for the article because it was very informative on the whole netboot process.
Client is not netbooting
