Can a Hackintosh be Netbooted?

[EpiGrad]

Pondering a project - one can netboot stock Apple machines using Lion Server. Is it possible to do the same with a Hackintosh? If it is possible, how do you go about accomplishing that?

Well, isn't that the quintessential question

Yes think it can BE DONE and I actually have a plan and a scheme mapped out but need to put A SERVER box together to experiment with... BUT.. IT WILL NOT BE RUNNING MACOS

No... I DO NOT THINK can do it with apple's Netboot software OR A REAL MAINTOSH so don't bother to try that... as you have no access to open firmware. Additionally i t would have to be a custom 'tuned' version of HackOS as it runs on normal Hackintosh

but there is an industry standard called PXE and more importantly OSS project called iPXE that apparently can boot just about anything (so they say)...
Will get back at ya if I have any success with that... and BTW it would include the use of ZFS in the solution...!!!!

as I said.. If it works


Comments anyone, anywhere..?
