[Casper] Erase new HD prior to imaging

Perhaps with the partition type.  If you are imaging intels make sure
that the image has the GUID partition table in your image otherwise it
can't format them with the older partition table and would fail.

That is my only guess with being able to see your network.

Hi All-
Wondered if others have had this issue:
Brand new machines that go right from box to netboot > Image using Erase
HD in Casper don't go (they hang, and not always in the same spot in the
configuration). If we erase them first w/ Disk Utility (with no other
changes) they go.
Problem also seems to vary by model (the last macbooks we got in did not
require this extra step at all).
I suspect a permissions issue, since they have not run their "startup
assistant" to create users, the permissions are non-standard. 
Other ideas?
