I powered up a new ESX host and enabled passthrough. This got me a bit further:
I thought it had hung here but patience paid off and the installer booted:
Damn- the keyboard/mouse doesn’t work (the pointer was moving around but I couldn’t click anything). Again- patience paid off and eventually it automatically moved on to the next step:
No target disks were listed when I chose to "Reinstall OS X". I went in to Disk Utility to investigate:
Damn. I tried using both IDE and SCSI disks in ESX but neither appear.
No doubt I’ll try some other ideas at a later date. I have a feeling I need to replace a .kext file on the install disc.

Hi Tickett, I have reached the Instll Mac OS X \ select disk to install screen and the 20 gb virtual disk I created is not listed. It only shows the install iso. Any ideas on how to get the virt disk to showw up?
I haven’t had a chance to look at this again (unfortunately some other projects have taken priority). I understand there has been some success http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=276003&st=20
I will blog again when I get the time to try again (I am determined to get it working :)
