Hello,

So I'm running syslinux.efi
Which loads menu.c32
Which is supposed to start ESXi's bootx64.efi/mboot.efi

But that gives

"""
Loading mboot.efi... ok
Invalid Boot signature 0x2, bailing out
Booting kernel failed: Bad file number
"""

Secure boot is disabled.

Thoughts?

The reason why it would be nice using PXE and syslinux here is because 
we have this automation set up where we can choose from the menu what we 
want to install and also use a templating mechanism.

Best regards,
Marki
