I have installed ESXi v5.5 on a white box and need to insert a particular parameter into the boot.cfg file. I created a bootable USB drive (SLAX Linux) and can see the device /dev/sda, but can't mount it.

Using parted I can list the partitions on the disk - and can see the partition I want to access, but can't figure out how to gain access at the file level so I can edit the boot.cfg file.

Any suggestions?

You need to mount a filesystem to access files on it, same as always.

Does the kernel recognize the partitions, e.g. have partition device files like /dev/sda1 been created? If so, the fact that it's GPT is irrelevant; just mount the partitions as usual. If not, your kernel may lack GPT support.
