YMMV depending on your hardware and/or firmware. Note: I have heard that historically the auto startup flag has not persisted in older Apple hardware, but for the new Mac Mini 5,3 and 6,2, they seem to be persisting without any issue from my testing. I finally got a chance to look into this a bit more for myself and with a bit of research, I found several other methods which also works and may potentially be easier. Several folks from the VMTN community such as zippytiff and twuhabro have already confirmed having success using the latter option when booting OS X off a USB or SD card to modify the energy saving settings. Normally to enable this feature you can either run a setpci command on UNIX/Linux system or configure the energy saver settings in OS X. The challenge arises when you are running ESXi, how do you go about enabling this functionality in ESXi itself? Well the answer is actually quite simple, you can enable this outside of ESXi. Automatically starting up after a power failure is not a new feature of the Mac Mini and it actually exists on most modern day systems and can be configured using a variety of tools. This is extremely useful for situations where power is eventually restored and you are not physically around to press the power button. You can refer to this awesome Macintosh models timeline on Wikipedia for old world vs new world ROMS. This is an archive containing all of the most popular Macintosh models ROM files for emulation purposes, ranging from the first 64K ROM from the Macintosh 128K to the 4 MB ROM files from the Bandai Pippin or PowerMac G3, listed below in ROM size, then by release date from oldest to newest.
