Check out the maunals first....:

This is from my memory...and may miss a step...........
I believe there are many ways to do it...but
on the cws issue the splstdata -b to verify the name of the image that will be used
to install node...
spbootins -r install -i bos.obj.image3 -l node#
or something similar
You could go into setup_server
smitty node_data boot/install server info and change
the image and run setup_server
If no errors...select the node from the SPMON global select
netboot and
do
then log in on serial line with the :
s1term frame_number node_number (i.e. s1term 1 1

when done issue the splstdata -b on the CWS and see if it is set to disk... if still set to install, issue /usr/lpp/ssp/install/bin/pssp_script on the node.

Your class at 3.2 is pretty much the same as 2.4....so what you learn in class will do you just fine....Good luck
