i am not sure that these machines will netboot, its a miricle oldworld OF boots at all. what exactly is happening when you kernel image fails? error messages are useful. my netboot mini-howto might be helpful, buts its biased towards newworlds. i don't know much about netbooting on oldworlds, its not officially supported by apple and all i have heard is that some of the more recent oldworld OF implementations have some half assed netboot abilities. http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/doc or http://penguinppc.org/usr/ybin/doc -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
