Deleting the AXD NetBoot Image
You can’t use System Image Utility to delete the AXD NetBoot image. Instead, you must
delete the AXD NetBoot image in the NetBoot image folder, which is located at:
/Volumes/volumename/Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP#
Replace volumename with the name of the volume that you’re installing the AXD
NetBoot image onto. The number (#) varies depending on if you’re using several
NetBoot volumes. If you’re using only one NetBoot volume, the AXD NetBoot image is
located in NetBootSP0. If you’re using several NetBoot volumes, the AXD NetBoot
image can be located in another folder (for example, NetBootSP1, NetBootSP4, or
NetBootSP11).

Setting Up a Storage Device for AXD Tool Installation
To set up an internal volume or portable storage device for AXD tool installation, you
must have at least 15 MB of available space for AXD EFI tools or at least 6 GB of storage
capacity for AXD Mac OS X tools. These requirements are described in detail in “Storage
Device Requirements” on page 6.
If you’re installing AXD Mac OS X tools on one of the volumes, the storage device
should use the GUID Partition Table partition scheme. To view the storage device’s
partition scheme, open Disk Utility, and select the storage device. Make sure you select
the storage device and not a volume within the storage device. At the bottom of the
Disk Utility window, Partition Scheme should say GUID Partition Table.
