You can force a Macintosh computer to search for a NetBoot server at startup by holding the N key when you turn on the computer. When you start a computer in this manner, it always chooses the default image on the NetBoot server. There can be only one default image among all your NetBoot servers, so choose wisely.

To choose the default image:

1.	Choose /Applications/Server/Server Admin (Figure 11.53). Figure 11.53. Choose /Applications/Server/Server Admin. The Server Admin utility opens.
2.	Connect and authenticate to the server you intend to configure (Figure 11.54). Figure 11.54. Authenticate as your server administrator.
3.	Select NetBoot from the service list, click the Settings button, and then click the Images tab (Figure 11.55). Figure 11.55. Select NetBoot from the service list, click the Settings button, and then click the Images tab.
4.	In the Default column, select the radio button next to the image you want to make the default NetBoot image (Figure 11.56). Figure 11.56. In the Default column, select the radio button next to the image you want to make the default NetBoot image.
5.	Click the Save button.

Tip

It's a really, really bad idea to configure an automated install image as your default NetBoot image. An unsuspecting user could inadvertently NetBoot a client and end up accidentally erasing important data files on the computer's system disk.

Figure 11.53. Choose /Applications/Server/Server Admin.
