  1. Press F2 to Customize System Settings
  2. VMware ESXi 4.1 Navigate to Troubleshooting Options

And by the way, installing ESXi in VMware Fusion on my Mac is really awesome for presentation and testing.

    I’m extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it is rare to see a nice blog like this one nowadays.
