Step 7Continue With NetInfo Manager...
In this step, we will be setting up the Appletalk File Protocol (AFP). This protocol is more used with older Macs for booting into OS 9 or earlier Systems. We're including it here for completeness and (who knows?) it just might break if it 's not here.
Look in the second column again. If there is already a config folder, select System Preferences... under the Apple menu, select the Sharing preferences followed by the Internet tab. If there is a button called Stop, click it so that it reads Start. If it already reads Start leave it alone and close the window (picture 1).
If the config folder doesn't exist, select the / in the left-most column again and click the New folder icon. Name this folder config.
Select the config folder in the second column and click the New button again. Name this new folder Sharepoints (picture 2). Enter Command-S to save your work.
Now, repeat the process to create a new folder in the Sharepoints folder called NetBootSP0. After naming this folder, click in the lower section to add three properties named afp_shared with a value of 1, afp_guest with a value of 0, 'directory_path with a value of /Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0 and afp_name with a value of NetBootSP0. Enter Command-S to save your work again.
Now we need to use the same process to create a folder in the Sharepoints folder called NetBootClient0 (picture 3). Create the same four properties as you did for the previous folder, but set the value of directory_path to /Library/NetBoot/NetBootClient0 and afp_name to NetBootClient0. Enter Command-S once more...
Don't Quit yet! Just one more thing to setup in NetInfo Manager!
Note the use of the word directory in the above entries. In UNIX, of which OS X is based, the word directory is used instead of folder. While the words are pretty much synonymous, they are not interchangeable when used in configurations.

Anywhere it says NetBootClients0 should probably read NetBootClient0
