Mac OS 9 NetBoot image folder (MacOS9.2.2.nbi)

You use NetBoot Desktop Admin to modify the Mac OS 9 NBI folder. The utility lets you
change the image file (NetBoot HD.img), the name of the image, adjust the size of the image,
and add software to the application image.

Property List File

The property list file (NBImageInfo.plist) stores the properties that you use to configure an
NBI folder. The property lists for Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X are described in the following
tables. For the most part, the values in the NBImageInfo.plist are set by the tools you use to
work with the image files—NetBoot Desktop Admin (for Mac OS 9 images) and Network
Image Utility (for Mac OS X images)—and you do not need to change the property list file
directly. Some values are set by the Configure DHCP/NetBoot panel in Server Settings. If you
need to edit a property list file, however, you can use Property List Editor, which is supplied
on the Mac OS X Server Administration Tools CD.
