Mark,

 Which version of systemimager do you use? Only version 3.X support this
        systemimager.conf)
                NET_BOOT_DEFAULT = local

 If you have 2.X version (it also works for 3.x). There is software for
 it:
        ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/outgoing/pxeconfig.tar.gz

 There is a good description available at:
        http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/CAMP/Niflheim/systemimager.html

From my reading of the description of this on some web pages (the only local documentation is to run the command with -help, but I'm sure everyone already knows this) all I need to do is run the command

mkclientnetboot -all-clients

and whenever I do a brand new installation over the network, it will do a pxe boot/install. however, upon rebooting the client, it will NOT do the install agaig but rather boot off the hard drive. well, on my machine it does another install. I know the first installation worked because it exited cleanly and when I disabled network boot, the cleint booted a valid system from the hard drive.

I suspect I may be doing things in the wrong order, but I have no idea what that order is. Specifically, I ran mkclientnetboot after I did the mkbootserver on the image server.

Am I supposed to do anything on the image server after the client successfully installs? My reading was that you didn't have to.

I even tried rebooting the server after issuing the mkclientnetboot (I know, this isn't microsoft) and that didn't help either.

so close...
