Hi,
I am a newbie just taking the vmware certification course. I was experimenting trying to install esxi 5.1 on a lenovo T410 directly on the hard drive following the documented steps. Everything installed well but I realised that I needed to have a physical LAN connection for the ip configuration to work.
I don't have access to a physical LAN connection so I decided to re-install thru a workstation instead.
Here's the problem:
I tried setting the boot order in the bio settings on my Lenovo to boot from dvd drive and re-install opensuse 12 back on my hard drive but the installed esxi keeps ignoring the boot order and loading esxi instead. So I have esxi permanently installed on my lenovo and I have no idea how to re-install another OS on the laptop.
I have tried to access the bio settings of esxi (to see if i could set the boot order to boot from the cd drive) by pressing the Function or Delete keys with no luck. However, it does boot from the DVD drive if I insert an esxi dvd image but ignores any other OS or bootable image.
How do I reclaim my laptop from this esxi hi-jack? I want my laptop back 
. Help somebody please!!!
