OK, somebody gave me VNC to a linux box in the office over VPN, so I can download ISOs. MSDN's sight has a really really bad captcha on it, and using a password manager was a pain, and it did 2-level, but I'm safe now, right?
Anyway, I can now download ISOs onto a machine on the same network as ESX box. Need to figure out how to get ESX to mount the newly created NFS export where the ISO lives.
OK, I figured it out. You create the VM in vSphereClient. Let the boot fail. Then, connect the .iso stored on your data store to the DVD drive. Finally, press Ctrl-Alt-Ins, and it should boot to your ISO.
More later.
