For a while now I've been using the createinstallmedia tool built into Install OSX installer apps to build bootable OS installers from USB. However, I want to create either a NetInstall or NetRestore image such that I can boot machines to our Netboot server and only install the desired Mac OS so my colleagues can use this as well. Don't want this to have anything to do with the JSS (jamf pro).
Thus far, my attempts to do this haven't worked. Here's what I've tried:
Build NetInstall Image w/ System Image Utility
1. Download OSX Installer app
2. Make OSX Installer app the source in System Image Utility and leave default settings. (this successfully builds).
3. Once built, I upload to /Library/Netboot on our Netboot server. Change the "Make available over" setting to NFS from HTTP (but I've tried both ways with same results below).
4. Reboot and hold down option on test machine I want to install on and see the Netboot. As soon as I select the Netboot, however, instead of booting to the NetInstall it instead boots right to the primary Startup Disk - the internal drive.
I've tried doing the above process but instead with a NetRestore image to the same effect.
Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.
