Hello,
I am working on simulate a PXE boot up for VM under EXSi 6.0.
It is successful to setup when VM boot up by EFI firmware boot option. However, it is fail to setup under BIOS firmware.
It got a problem saying 'unable to locate configuration file' (like enclosed screenshot). However, I am no idea where is goes wrong
Please assistant to advise and is it limited to do simulate?
following is my config for reference
