Performing Manual Imaging Operations

If you encounter a situation where the auto-imaging behavior that you have defined in NDS policies and settings won't accomplish the result you need, you can perform a manual (command line) imaging operation as follows:

1. Boot the computer from a ZfD imaging device or method and type manual at the boot prompt. Insert the second and third diskettes if you are prompted for them.

2. At the Linux prompt, use the img command to perform the specific imaging operation you want. For more information, see the table below.
