iso image from OS X "Netboot Server" disc??

[radiosanchez]

Dumb question, still working my way through learning all of this....So apologies for my ignorance.

I recently scored a couple of actual Mac OS X Server Discs (1.0, and 1.2--as in the early "Rhapsody"-type stuff)...However, they are the "Netboot Server" discs, and not actual install disks.

Is there any way I can extract the .iso from these disks and do an regular install on a (compatible) Mac?? Simply putting these disks in seems to do nothing...

I'm sure there is an easy answer--I just haven't gotten proficient enough to know.

Thanks.

So you have like, physical CDs? The fact that they’re for a netboot server leads me to believe they can’t be booted on the hardware locally, rather that they’re meant to be used with a netboot server. I bet you can find images of the regular installers on the Macintosh Garden though. I think I booted a 9 machine once by copying the System Folder from the netboot 9 image onto the hard disk and that worked, but idk if Rhapsody behaves like that.

I would like to have enough time to check on my own CDs but if I'm not wrong, there is a regular install disc for MacOS X Server itself then, if during installation you ask to install the NetBoot server, it will ask you to insert this CD which contains mainly (only ?) the NetInstall.dmg containing the bootable classic MacOS (8.5 ?) used to boot remote Macs.

The real install CD for Rhapsody is this one: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-os-x-server-12v3
