Description

Using the boot-disk image against a vmware compute resource, the server shell in vmware is created, but is powered on before the ISO is attached to the server. This causes the virtual bios to skip the cdrom which then errors out with Operating System not found. A simple reboot of the server from within vmware allows the iso to be seen and run the iPXE boot.

I'm running into pretty much the same issue, except that in my case the issue appears to be that I can't connect the ISO while the VM guest is powered off. If I power the guest on then I can connect the ISO (I'm doing it through the web API, setting "build" to true, but by clicking "build" using the web GUI does the same thing). The problem is that since vmware tools isn't installed yet I can't do a soft reset. If I do a hard reset it clears the ISO connection. If I log into the console via vsphere and send a control-alt-delete it work fine. I have not found an automated way to send that control-alt-delete yet.
