+# Troubleshooting
+
+Some users have reported that vSphere templates created from local VMWare builds
+get their boot order reset to cdrom only instead of the original boot order
+defined by the template. If this issue affects you, the solution is to set
+`"bios.hddOrder": "scsi0:0"` in your builder's vmx_data.

+Packer doesn't automatically do this for you because it causes strange upload
+behavior in certain versions of ovftool.
