virt-install --name=esxi7 \

--cdrom=/home/username/isos/VMware-VMvisor-Installer-7.0U2a-17867351.x86_64.iso \
--disk size=33 \
--os-variant=unknown

the installation process starts but does not get fails with a "No network adapters" error. This does not happen with other VM's.
What do I have to add to above command in order to attach the default network adapter to the machine?

or is there any other trick I have to be aware of when it comes to installing ESXi

thx ... Gunnar
