i3 iMacs and AutoCasperNBI 10.10 Netboot

[zinkotheclown]

I built a 10.10.3 netboot image with AutoCasperNBI recently. It works great with most of my district's Macs save for i3 iMacs. What usually would happen is that it would hang halfway during the loading screen and you would eventually have to do a hard shutdown.

What I ended up doing was creating another 10.10.3 netboot image with Casper NetInstall Creator and while bloated, it worked with the i3 models.

Has anyone ever got an AutoCasperNBI 10.10.3 netboot to work on an i3 iMac? I would rather use that netboot as it's more efficient with space.

@dlee_pausd Hi again!

Is this the 3rd thread you now have on AutoCasperNBI?

Sorry it's not working as planned.

Did you have any luck with the iMacs & a 10.10.4 NBI?

@bentoms This is an earlier post. I kind of resolved this by using a NBI without the rc.netboot file. In verbose mode, the Mac mentions that it's unable to create the ramdisk. The Macs may have 1 gb of ram.

However with your response in my BSDpy post about modifiying the ramdisk size in the rc.netboot file, I think that might help.

Thanks again for all your advice!
