Don’t assume Apple is correct, they often ship internal drives with odd configurations.<BR>
<BR>
If you are getting odd drive formats from the factory, you may want to use a diskutil partitionDisk script as a “before” item in your autorun data/prestage to make sure you’re getting what you expect before you start an image.<BR>

Wondered if others have had this issue:<BR>
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.<BR>
Problem also seems to vary by model (the last macbooks we got in did not require this extra step at all).<BR>
I suspect a permissions issue, since they have not run their "startup assistant" to create users, the permissions are non-standard. <BR>
Other ideas?<BR>
