Casper NetBoot Automator Action

[#1]

Dear all,
I am trying to deploy Lion via Casper.
So far I did:

1- via composer created a OS image from a brand new 10.7 macbook pro.
2- Used Casper Netboot Automatior Action in conjuction with System Image Utility 10.7 to create a workflow for a Netboot of the mounted 10.7 image I created before and ..
3- When I Netboot to this one, I see Casper Imaging 8.2.2 starting and I can select the HD I want to use to deploy the 10.7 image (I guess this is the one I need to deploy, since before I did a new image via Casper Composer for OS and then deployed this via CAsper Netinstall).
The system basically restarts really fast and nothing is copied on the HArd disk.

In the logs I can see no errors:

rasing Macintosh HD... Setting computer name to "mac-cg40"... Creating /private/etc/jamf.conf... Creating /usr/sbin/jamf... Creating Startup Script... Creating Login/Logout Hooks... Creating jamfHelper... Ensuring Apple's Setup Assistant does not appear... Creating First Run Script... Adding line to Update ByHost Files... Adding line for installing OS-10.7.dmg... Copying OS-10.7.dmg to FirstRun... Unmounting Distribution Point... Blessing System... Ensuring system files are hidden...

What am I doing wrong?. Do anybody have a how to manual to deploy 10.7 via Casper?

Many thanks in advance.

In disk utility did you scan your image (OS-10.7.dmg) for restore?

No where in your description of steps did I see you mention uploading

that image to Casper Admin. You did do that right?

Also, when you did the Composer snapshot, did you do it on a machine
that was running 10.7?

Looks like your OS image has been set to install at the root volume.

Can you untick that?

Regards,

Ben.
