So, I have a fully updated 10.8.3 mac mini. I installed latest os x server.app, verson 2.21 or something like that. I think I got it set up with file sharing, dhcp, and netinstall services running.
Installed DS 1.6.0. I can get the assistant to configure and accept the server ip and repository so that seems alright and the deploy studio service turns on.
Created a new netboot set on this mini. BTW, this mini is a model from last summer.
I also have a server running 10.7 that currently works and netboots fine. There are significant changes between 10.7 and 10.8 for server.app but I have tried to follow things as close as possible.
Hopefully that is enough backstory so far. Now, the issue is that in Startup Disk, I can see the netboot set I created however; I cannot netboot to it. The flashing globe comes up after a bit and just flashes and then boots off the hard drive.
I have checked with my network guys and there shouldn't be anything in our network or firewall settings blocking netboot from working. Both machines are on the same subnet. The machine I am trying to netboot is a macbook pro also from last summer.
Bless command has no effect.
At this point, I feel like it may be either a netinstall setting though "sudo serveradmin fullstatus netboot" seems to show everything working.
Any ideas on where to look or changes to try?
Everything else seems ready to roll once I can get netbooting to work.
As a side note, I have never set-up a mac server for this, just administered the current 1 for all other aspects.
Oh and in the netinstall log, I get:
May 15 15:35:20 <server> bootpd[688]: BSDP INFORM [en0] 1,3c:7:54:54:b8:39 NetBoot001 arch=i386 sysid=MacBookPro8,2
