Small Tree Communications, a leader in networking and storage solutions, has recently completed work on new firmware for its single port optical Gigabit adapters that will allow users to NetBoot Apple systems that use Open Firmware Standard (this includes all of Apple‘s Power PC systems). With NetBoot, users can boot from the network rather than from a local disk.

“Apple supports NetBoot today over their built in copper Ethernet interfaces,” stated Corky Seeber, president of Small Tree Communications. “With Small Tree‘s new firmware, these same systems can be made to boot over the optical networks that are popular at military, law enforcement and national lab installations. In addition to booting the default NetBoot image, Small Tree‘s cards are fully compatible with the Startup Disk tool. This allows users to select multiple NetBoot images and gives the flexibility to maintain several images for different system types. All of Small Tree‘s PCI Express cards are compatible with Apple’s Intel based systems for remote boot using EFI.”
