On a netboot Sierra 10.12.6 AutoCasperNBI
Casper Imaging 9.98
It will fail if I select "Erase target drive"
Here are the Imaging Logs

Looks like it is doing the Block Copy before doing the Erase even though on the left side bar they are in the correct order
I have tried Erasing and then doing the install but it then shows completed with no errors but the drive is not set to bootable.
I found some older mentions of something like this and it was caused by the Netboot not being diskless. I have checked the rc file and the Netboot is definitely diskless (also verified by looking at the mount point)
I'm kind of at a loss. We have other Distribution Points and if I point towards them then the imaging goes correctly. The problem is they are in different cities and this slows the process down immensely. Please help! Thanks

If you are running macOS 10.12 during the imaging process your problem may be that SIP is enabled and is blocking the change of making the drive bootable.

A quick run of csrutil status from the Terminal will tell you if it is enabled.
