Step 11Fix And Enable The NetInstall Image...
Now we need to enable the image and correct a minor problem. First, we'll correct the problem...
The System Image Utility has a minor flaw since Mac OS 10.4.6. Apple added the CoreVideo Framework, but the utility doesn't know to install it. We need to modify the image to include it.
Launce Disk Utility and click the Convert icon at the top of the window (picture 1). Select the Install.dmg file located in your nbi folder (Should be located in /Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0) (picture 2). Change the name to InstallRW and set the Image Format popup menu to read/write (picture 3). Click the Save button (picture 4).
Open your nbi folder and double click the InstallRW.dmg file to mount it on your desktop (picture 5).
Locate the folder at /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreVideo.framework on your hard drive. Copy it to the same location on the mounted image (picture 6).
Eject the image by dragging it to the Trash (or select it and enter Command-E).
Go back to Disk Utility, select the InstallRW.dmg file in the left column and again click the Convert icon (picture 7). This time change the name back to Install and set the Image Format to compressed. Confirm to replace the previous copy (picture 8)...
In Finder, you can now throw away the ImageRW.dmg file (picture 9).
Now we edit the plist file to enable the Netboot image. Open the file NBImageInfo.plist in the nbi folder (picture 9). It will open in Property List Editor. We have to make a few changes here...
First, click the little arrow to the left of the Architectures item (picture 10). We need to make sure that this value is set to ppc or i386, depending on the type of installer we made. In this case, we want it set to ppc. If you built a Universal installer, click the New Child button and set that one to the one that's missing so both are there.
Now locate and select the EnabledSystemIdentifiers item and click the Delete button. Also delete the DisabledSystemIdentifiers item.
Lastly change the value of IsEnabled to true and save your work.
You can now quit and test your installer. I'll cover that in step 15...
