        1. create VM on ESX
        2. create 2 virtual switches on ESX, one for pfsense WAN, one for pfsense LAN
        3.  assign one physical nic to each switch created  in step 2.
        4.  copy pfsense iso image to ESX datastore
        5.  configure VM created in step 1 to boot from this iso image
        6.  power on VM and follow prompts to load and configure pfsense.
        7.  assign nics during pfsense install as appropriate
        8. set up pfsense for your network topology

        that is it in a nutshell
