Enabling NetBoot 1.0 for Older NetBoot Clients

If you want older computers, such as tray-loading iMac or Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White), to use NetBoot, you need to enable NetBoot 1.0. You may do so by using the nicl tool.

To enable NetBoot:

$ sudo nicl . create /config/dhcp old_netboot_enabled port_list

$ sudo killall bootpd

Parameter

Description

port_list

List of ports you want to enable for NetBoot 1.0, formatted

 

like: en0 en1 en2.

 

 

Note: NetBoot 1.0 and 2.0 can run on the same network interface simultaneously.
