I have an HP C7000 enclosure. With several BL680c quad core blades.
I have attached a usb cd rom thru the oba usb virtual media. Boots off the 3.5 install cd just fine. Connected a usb floppy to the front of the blade (via cable) Enter "esx ks=floppy" It does not read or initiate a scripted install from my ks.cfg file on my floppy drive.
Also tried connecting the usb cdrom to the front of the blade. Boots off cd just fine. Then used virtual media to re-dirrect floppy to my workstations floppy drive. Still won't initiate a scripted install off the ks.cfg file I have on my floppy.
Boots to esx install in manual mode. After I enter esx ks=floppy
Any ideas? Thanks
