Mikrotik on VMWare ESX

Fri Mar 25, 2011 12:39 pm

Hi,

I am trying to install Mikrotik on an ESX Server. It boots properly from ISO Image, then i select the packages that i want to install and then press "i" then "n" and then as soon as I press "y" to continue my keyboards NUM LOCK and SCROLL LOCK starts blinking and systems hangs up. Then i have to reboot the Virtual Machine.
I have done installs on VMWare Workstation 7 before and it works fine. Then what is the problem with this.

Can anyone tell me any method how can i go ahead with this.

logically, new drivers are only included in new RouterOS versions. VMware ESX is new software
