agent47SG1 Posted July 20, 2017 Share #2 Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Hello, It's strange, i have downloaded this iso file but i cant' open it. Try whis img file by creating a Loader 1.02b.vmdk file containing this lines if you use vmware Quote # Disk DescriptorFile version=1 CID=22733fd4 parentCID=ffffffff isNativeSnapshot="no" createType="vmfs" # Extent description RW 102400 VMFS "synoboot.img" 0 # The Disk Data Base #DDB ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic" ddb.deletable = "true" ddb.encoding = "UTF-8" ddb.longContentID = "6cbe0014ae8067fbd13c4b9522733fd4" ddb.thinProvisioned = "1" ddb.toolsInstallType = "4" ddb.toolsVersion = "10247" ddb.uuid = "60 00 C2 9a ee da ca 33-df 5e 04 3f 80 55 f9 62" ddb.virtualHWVersion = "10" Edited July 20, 2017 by agent47SG1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabyte Posted July 20, 2017 Share #3 Posted July 20, 2017 For ESXi I have used this converter to convert the ISO. https://www.starwindsoftware.com/converter Use starwind V2V Converter Select VMF Prealicated Image Select IDE I did change the boot order in the Juns loader so the Vm loader was first in the boot order. Here is an old video that may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a ton for posting this.. it worked perfectly! This was literally the only ESXi image that I could find, now that they've decided to distribute ISOs that I can't mount. Did I miss something? Or are people really not using 1.02b with ESXi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
