Q: NetInstall on OSX10 - clients can't find images
Good Morning,
I have a newly created image, saved in the appropriate folder under Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0 but the clients can't see the image. I have no specific filtering turned on in the netinstall portion.
Below is the NetInstall Log from my server:

The log is just the portion in the Preferences/Startup disk when you select my image, but then it will not boot up from it and it will not display any logs either.
I have my server and the clients in the same subnet. I also checked with the networking team who assured me they turned on DHCP snooping to allow this traffic.
Does anyone have any clue where else can I check?

thanks for the information Keg55. as it turned out, I had NFS available but there was some sort of block in the network port the networking guys were able to modified.
