ESXi doesn't require much Linux (just busybox), but I think the point is that the VMkernel (the hypervisor) and the service console (Linux) are separate entities. The SC is really a VM, so it depends more on VMkernel than VMkernel depends on it.
So it's a VM, which is required to be booted in order to be able to load the hypervisor? Seems an unusual definition of VM to me..
Also, which code handles the I/O to load the other, less special, VMs? The Linux fs and block layer, or the VMWare hypervisor?
Anyway, I fear we're about to be kicked into touch by the moderators..
