AIX network boot question

I created my own bootable image using the bosboot command for booting over the network. I then put this image in the /tftpboot directory and also modified the /etc/bootptab file to add an entry for the network bootable machine to download my new image.

1) Why does it need an .info file after downloading the image? Where can I find more info about this .info file and its contents and which AIX component needs it?

2) Is there more information about AIX network booting than what is described in the NIM docs?

Ideally I would like to build a boot image that uses only the RAMDISK and I can network boot any generic AIX box with that image.
