Mac OS X Server: Cannot NetBoot From 10.2 Image When Client Has Only Internal SCSI Hard Drive(s)
If you try to NetBoot a computer that has only an internal SCSI hard drive (no ATA/IDE) from a Mac OS X 10.2 NetBoot image, the computer may shut down during the attempt.
Products Affected
Mac OS X Server 10.3, Mac OS X 10.2, Mac OS X 10.0
Symptom
A client computer that only has an internal SCSI hard disk drive installed cannot NetBoot. The computer may shutdown during the startup process.
Solution
Mac OS X Server 10.2 does not support NetBoot for clients that have only an internal SCSI hard disk drive. There are two alternative solutions you may consider:
1. Add an internal ATA hard disk drive to the computer, so that it may NetBoot, or,
2. Use Workgroup Manager instead. This provides Mac OS X client management features similar to those used in NetBoot, but while starting up from the internal drive.
