ESXi 7 installation over serial console

Hi - I would like to install ESXi 7 on a Lanner appliance that has no video output so I believe I need to modify some of the boot files present on the ESXi ISO to tell the installer to redirect its output on the serial console port (something like console=ttyS0,115200n8).

Could you please let me know exactly what to insert into which boot file on my ESXi ISO USB stick?

Thanks a lot for your time/help.

You can use Kickstart installation for automating installation but also the below post maybe useful:
