ah, good to know.. Did you use SCSI or some other type of virtual disk?
I just remembered, I'm using a linux 5 template ('Guest OS: Debian GNU/Linux 5 (64-bit)') to install Debian 6. not sure if that's causing the issue, somehow. (I'm using ESXi 4.0 server, which is quite old and it doesn't support 'Debian GNU/Linux 6' as one of the templates). Let me try with a Debian 5 ISO and see if the installer can find the disk..
