Hello,when I attempt to acces the ESXi CLI through the use of the "magic" word: unsupported, I not only see the word: 'unsupported' on the screen as I type but I do not get any prompt whatsoever.
1) I hit <ALT-F1> at the main console
2) I get the screen as indicated by VMware.
3) I type 'unsupported' as prescribed and hit <enter>.
4) Nothing happens. I am able to continue typing and I see my typing on the screen. I am able to move the cursor around with arrow keys. There's never any indication that anything is or was happening. If I back out of this screen (using <ALT-F2>) and then come back in again, I see things just as I left them.
Please provide any insight possible on this. My goal is to establish SSH access.
Thank you,
Brian.
