As said in #16621, ESXi is not available as deployable "operating system" in Foreman. Please don't open new tickets about the same topic.

In the software manual it says it can... Is this statement wrong. Sorry.

These are all not part of the official Foreman docs (As this feature is not supported in a way we like to have it integrated. That would be #5176), the one from c0t0d0s0.de does look quite recent. I'd suggest getting PXE provisioning of e.g. CentOS running first and once that's running OK, trying again with these HOWTOs to implement ESXi provisioning.
