[UniMacTech] 10.4.11 Netinstall issue with 10.5 Server

[David Kudrev]

G'day folks, I'm in the process at the moment in setting up a Leopard  
server and configuring Netinstall on 10.5. The two images made for Mac  
OS 10.5.2 are working fine. Whereas the 10.4.11 images created on 10.4  
server, and copied onto 10.5. Under Server Admin, the images are  
coming up fine, and also comes up on the client machines too. However,  
the problem is, with the 10.4.11 image, as soon as I continue the  
restore/installation of the image, the progress bar goes for half a  
second, then stating that the Installation is complete. The process  
that I used to create the image is as follows:

- Firstly created an image on the Mac
- Then booted it into target disk mode
- Plugged it in via firewire into the 10.4 server
- Opened up Disk Utility, and then created the DMG of the Macintosh HD
- After creating the DMG, I make an nbi file in System Image Utility,  
and then copy the nbi onto the 10.5 server (usb drive).

Now the 10.5 images were created the same way, and come up with no  
problem. I'd be more than happy to give more information about the  
steps used.
Muchly appreciated folks
