VMware vm only boots to DHCP
Hello.
I am configuring a new virtual machine on a Dell box running ESXi 5, I need to install windows 2008 R2 on it. even though I changed the vm bios to boot to CD drive first and I linked the dvd to the vm it still boots to the DHCP . what am I missing?

thank you.
You can manually select the DVD drive by pressing the ESC key when the VMware logo is shown during boot.
Or you are trying to boot a DVD in a CD drive which is not going to work.
