While you are right about it being a bit different to PXE boot and called BSDP in the Apple world I wouldn't say "Macs don't netboot in the usual PXE fashion". The base of BSDP is not far from PXE netboot I find. >> On 20 Feb 2019, at 17:27, Matthew Turner <supra_m...@yahoo.com >> <mailto:supra_m...@yahoo.com>> wrote: >> >> We have a number of Apple iMac's 14,2 & 17,1 machines. You might want to read through those posts as well as we had people with particular iMacs (depends on the NIC model) that couldn't be made to boot from network using iPXE: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10615/ipxe-booting-possibly-broken-on-os-x-sierra-update (see the topics on iMacs linked there too) Keeping my fingers crossed that you have other NICs in your iMacs!
