NOTE: In case the newly added image need to replace the existing image, then execute
following commands
mv /home/delladmin/ISOBootImages/esxi5.1_dell_ISOBoot_New

Modifying the ESXi boot.cfg Configuration File
To confirm that the installation source is not in the root of the TFTP server, perform the
following steps:
1. Update the kernelopt parameter to point the kickstart file to the CDROM:
# cat boot.cfg
bootstate=0
title=Loading ESXi installer
kernel=/tboot.b00
kernelopt=ks=cdrom:/KS.CFG
