How too boot a client from USB-Stick?

$

Hello,

 

i am trying to boot a vmware linux client from an usb-stick (which has an linux installer inside).

 

I can create a host controller and a usb-device. When i am booting the system says, that the usb-stick is connected to that client machine.

 

But i never managed to boot from usb-stick, the boot-process *always* tries to get a response from an dhcp-server. When i go to the bios setup, i can only select a "removable device", until now, i didn´t find any usb-device from which to boot.

 

Is usb-boot possible on esxi or should i try a workaround?

 

regards
