Deploy ESX OS 3.0.1 with HP iLO and Dell RAC?

We have gotten HP iLO2 to work for HP C-Class blades, but can't seem to get ESX OS 3.0.1 to work with DRAC.  Specifically, we use a configuration diskette that has a kickstart file that is highly customized.  We have an environment where we can NOT use a network based build and must use the kickstart on floppy or usb-drive.  But the DRAC virtual floppy does not seem to be referenced by anaconda by /dev/fd0?  Any one know what device name it is?

 

esx ks=hd:fd0/ks.cfg (typical floppy)

or

esx ks=hd:sdb/ks.cfg (where the usb flash drive is sdb or sometimes sdc depending on the make/model, or USB floppy)

 

These work fine, but with the virtual floppy on DRAC we just can not seem to get anaconda to see it.

 

Anyone get this working?
