OS X NetInstall Images
NetInstall images for OSOperating System X 10.6 through 10.11/Beta-5 are available on the apple.net subnet (10.6.4.0/24). If you have network access to this subnet, you can boot the default NetInstall image by holding "n" during the boot process. Alternatively, you can also select use the Settings/Startup Disk to select a specific NetInstall image.
Generating NetInstall Images
Generating NetInstall Images is a pain. You can only generate an image for the currently running version of OSOperating System X. That means, if you want to make a 10.6 installer, you need to have 10.6 running. Once you solve that problem, generally, you use the System Image Utility to generate the NetInstall image. Older versions of OSOperating System X required OSOperating System X Server to be installed to generate the images.
Starting with 10.10, you can use a command line tool to generate the images:
- /System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/System Image Utility.app/Contents/MacOS/imagetool
In 10.11, image tool seems to be the only way to generate the images.
