You need to do what's mentioned in dallo's post above.
Yep, I had already saw that thread, I added the additional commands to the installer and it worked fine. However once it was upgraded to 5.5 it had the same problem when booting off the ESXi install. I put in the commands one more time manually, enabled SSH and then modified the boot.cfg in the bootbank directory and added the additional commands to the kernaloptions line.
To save time for everyone, add this too the boot options and bootcfg kernel options, make sure to leave a space after the last entry
esxcfg-advcfg --set-kernel"TRUE" ignoreHeadless
Now it boots without manual intervention.

I also encountered some weird issue where ESXi 5.5 wouldn't take my static IP address, I reset the networking settings to defaults and things started working again.
