OSX still sucks

So after staying up late last night, today some things just magically start working and others continue to frustrate. Netboot sucks. Badly. I managed to get it to work, but it doesn't help, because I do not know how to make it install automatically, and I cannot ssh to the images that I have managed to create. I found a firewire cable and am now using the mac mini as a target disk. Hopefully this will work, if it does not, I do not know what I will do.
