You need to have a valid Netboot image on the server in order for Netboot to work correctly. Location of that Netboot Image is /Library/Netboot/NetbootSP0/Netboot_Image_Name.nbi on the server. (Netboot_Image_Name is the name of your Image)

Ok sorry, I forgot all about this thread, but this is the old style imacs with out the fire wire, and they were on a net boot at my school as they came with no system and there default was a net boot, aswell they said on the back something about a netboot, as well i have osx 10.3 as my netboot immage, and they wont boot, i know 10.2 booted these old computers
