This one also seems worth re-reading, though maybe outdated: http://www.ntpro.nl/blog/archives/1602-Injecting-drivers-into-the-ESXI-installer.html
I ended up using the ESXi customer script to customize the ISO. With this workflow you run the customizer, then rename the output ISO to esxi.iso
and continue with the makefile. Not ideal, particularly since the optimizer runs on Windows, but it works.
I'm using PCI-e flash as my main "disk" and the ESXi installer doesn't detect it. Apparently I need to add some drivers but I haven't figured out exactly how to do this.
Info I have so far:
Still guessing at this point but it looks like it involves the following:
.tgz
file should include the offline bundle contents in some formatThere may be a simple way to include all the files in
./bundles
in the ISO and also update BOOT.CFG to look at them.
