I used UNetBootIn (http://unetbootin.github.io/) to burn the ISO to a USB on my mac Start UNetbootin and choose: Diskimage ISO Select the downloaded ESXi ISO Type: USB Drive Drive: Select your USB drive Select OK I stuck the USB in a slot and rebooted (hitting a bunch of keys to get to the bios to boot of the USB. It could not find a network adaptor :-( Consult Google. I found this: http://www.v-front.de/2014/12/how-to-make-your-unsupported-nic-work.html http://www.v-front.de/2015/03/vsphere...
