Hi,
i am trying to do various bits of automation during the firstboot section of a scripted ESXi5.0 installation and while most stuff is working, I am having trouble debugging steps that aren't. I try to write out log files during the boot to various locations from root EG:
mkdir -P /setup/logs
echo 'made it here' > /setup/logs/install.log
But when the build finishes and log into the ESXi shell the files and folders just aren't there. From what is working during the build I can tell that files are being written and read, but I can't get anything to persist after the build has finished to try to work out what went wrong.
