Anyone with experience netbooting a PowerBook G3 Lombard/Mac OS 9? I have OS X Server 10.5 running (in VMware Fusion) with NetBoot setup. I've followed this guide to create the Mac OS 9 .nib image and activate the old BootP service required for Mac OS 9: https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=28133
When I network boot the PowerBook I can see that the client and server are communicating with each other, but it never downloads any image and will eventually time out.
I see a few error messages, but I'm not sure which are relevant.
From the NetBoot log:
The "Client Request" will then repeat until the PowerBook times out.
Anyone have any idea?
