Re: ESX 4.1 Install on SD card
Start with the HP version of the installation media instead of the vmware download.
You can get a copy from the HP Software Depot site.
https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPVM06
Boot from this and follow the installation options to install to the SD card.

Re: ESX 4.1 Install on SD card
Most of the articles mentioned is good but rather points to installing the ESXi to the SD card.
What I wanted was, if and can install ESX 4.1 embedded unto the SD card.
The ESX 4.1 then boots from the SD card as there is no hard disk installed within the BL 490c blade server.
Thanks and do appreciate any feedback and directions.

Re: ESX 4.1 Install on SD card
If you a concerned about not having the full console session be aware that vmware have specifically stated that v4.1 is the last release of ESX to have both ESX and ESXi code, the future is purely the ESXi hypervisor. So you might as well start getting used to the equivalent tools in ESXi.
