7.0

You can change the order of the disks by using a comma-separated
list appended to the argument. If you provide a filter list, the default
settings are overridden. You can combine filters to specify a particular
disk, including esx for the first disk with ESX installed on it, model
and vendor information, or the name of the VMkernel device driver.
For example, to prefer a disk with the model name ST3120814A and
any disk that uses the mptsas driver rather than a normal local disk,
the argument is --firstdisk=ST3120814A,mptsas,local. You can use
localesx for local storage that contains ESXi image or remoteesx for
remote storage that contains
ESXi image.
--overwritevsan
You must use the --overwritevsan option when you install ESXi on a
disk, either SSD or HDD (magnetic), that is in a vSAN disk group. If
you use this option and no vSAN partition is on the selected disk, the
installation fails. When you install ESXi on a disk that is in a vSAN disk
group, the result depends on the disk that you select:
n If you select an SSD, the SSD and all underlying HDDs in the same
disk group is wiped.
n If you select an HDD, and the disk group size is greater than two,
only the selected HDD is wiped.
n If you select an HDD disk, and the disk group size is two or less,
the SSD and the selected HDD is wiped.
For more information about managing vSAN disk groups, see the
vSphere Storage documentation.
--overwritevmfs
Install ESXi if a VMFS partition exists on the disk, but no ESX or ESXi
installation exists. Unless this option is present, the installer fails if a
VMFS partition exists on the disk, but an ESX or ESXi installation is
missing.
keyboard (Optional)
Sets the keyboard type for the system.

Specifies the keyboard map for the selected keyboard type.
