[Casper] Imaging Issues with new Intel Mac Books

[Weber, Jason]

When are netboot OS loads, it¹s set to automatically log in as ROOT.

So still nothing so far..  And after some more testing, I have determined
that after the imaging is complete there is actually no data at all on the
hard drive.

In the earlier post I had a RemoteClient install package that was deployed
after the image, that¹s where the ³Library² folder originated from. Since
then I tried pushing just a base 10.5.2 image and after the install there is
nothing at all on the hard drive.

Not good since we just got a shipment of roughly 60 MacBooks in that need to
be imaged!
