This issue is not specific to HP switches. Rather, it is a timing problem in early versions of the iMac Boot ROM. Apple Computer, Inc has fixed this NetBoot issue by releasing both an updated Boot ROM image and Mac OS X Server version 1.2. Please advise customers with iMac NetBoot issues to contact Apple Computer, Inc Technical Support.
