How can I change the name of the Netboot image as seen in Startup Disk?
The /Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0 folder on the NetInstall server contains
all the NetBoot and NetInstall images that the server provides for
booting. Open the folder of the image whose name you want to change.
There are five files in the folder. The one that contains the name
information is the NBImageInfo.plist file. Open this file in BBEdit or
another editor that maintains line breaks. You could even use Apple's
Property List Editor if you wanted.
Find the line that looks like this:
<key>Name</key>
The next line is the string containing the image name that is displayed
in Startup Disk:
<string>LIBRn310(Mercury)p</string>
Change the string between the <string> and </string>, then quit and save
the file.
Sometimes it takes stopping and restarting the NetBoot/DHCP process to
get the change to be re-read. You can stop and restart the service
through Server Settings in Jaguar server or Server Admin in Panther
server.
