That is what I have read everywhere - that the default location is /tmp/scratch - and that's why I was very confused when that's not what my default was. To be sure that I didn't miss something I have installed ESXi 5.1 twice now, and the location that I gave appears to be the same I have received each time. What seems confusing to me is that each time I have installed it ESXi has correctly identified the destination disk as a USB drive with a "flash" media type, so I'm not sure why my install would be different from any other.
