Why each option
The boot.cfg file controls the ESXi boot process and contains the 'ks=' parameter that points the installer to the kickstart script location.
boot.cfg is the boot loader configuration file read during ESXi startup. It contains the 'kernelopt' line with the 'ks=' directive, which specifies the URL or path to the kickstart/installation script, telling the installer where to retrieve its instructions.
ks.cfg is the actual kickstart script file containing install instructions - it is the target that boot.cfg points to, not the file that defines the script's location.
script.cfg is not a recognized ESXi installer or boot configuration file.
upgrade.cfg is not a recognized ESXi installer or boot configuration file.
Concept tested: ESXi boot.cfg role in scripted installation
