OSX 10.12 on ESXi won't boot

Hey all, 

 

I've installed OSX 10.12 and VMware tools on an ESXi 6.0 server a few times now and every time during the second or third restart, the VM just stops booting.  Instead, I am greeted with the black screen with a circle and slash through it (see attached pic).

 

Looking up what this screen means, it is saying that the system (VM in this case) can't find a System Folder to start up from.  Anyone know what is up with this?  How to fix it?

 

Thanks

I'm not sure if I fixed this... but so far so good.  

 

I was able to boot into recovery mode by holding Windows Key + R as soon as I powered the VM on.  I reinstalled the OS, turned off SIP, and have been able to reboot a few times without this error occurring.  Not sure what fixed it (or if it is really fixed), but so far so good.
