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:

Boot the computer from a ZfD imaging device and type manual at the boot prompt. Insert the second diskette if you are prompted for it.

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