I was finally able to get v1.03b to work successfully after a lot of runarounds with ESXI 6.7.
No Diskstation found within LAN:
I've created a new VM and set my modified synoboot (updated VID/PID/SN/MAC) as an SATA HDD. Booted the 3rd option (Vmware/ESXI) and it detected on the network. Once it was detected, I could then migrate to 6.2.
After migration was completed, all of my packages would close within minutes of the system booting up. To resolve this, I had to delete the hidden .xpenoboot that was located at root. Open SSH and use Putty to remove the .xpenoboot folder.
Rebooted the system and all the packages would now stay up and running.
Hope this helps other users!
