I am wonder if anyone has seen this or has successfully deploy ESXi5.5:

First I do a copycds of esxi5.5.iso

Then I create a node and pxe fails on the file: 
/tftpboot/xcat/esxboot-x64.efi, it cant find it. Soooo. I assume that is 
the efi64 file from the cdrom, so I copy into place:
cp /install/esxi5.5/x86_64/efi/boot/bootx64.efi 
/tftpboo/xcat/esxboot-x64.efi

so now it find the file, but just hangs:

http://9.74.203.150/tftpboot/xcat/esxboot-x64.efi... ok


not sure what I am doing wrong, but I can install RHEL6.6 without issues. 

Has anyone seen this or has ESXi5.5 deploying to baremetal?
