I've created a custom scripted install disc for VMware ESXi 5.1 U1. I am trying to have an option (default) to boot to local disk or in my case LUN 0 that is presented from the SAN. The Hypervisor is installed to LUN 0 which is attached via Fibre Channel and is booting from the SAN.
I thought that the 'Boot from local disk' would allow me to boot to the installation on the Boot to SAN LUN but that is not true.
Is there a way to instruct syslinux to boot to the first available LUN instead of local disk? Currently, the process loops because there is no true local disk available.
Below is a copy of isolinux.cfg
