I can never get into the BIOS under vmware

Just paste the following text into the image’s vmx file while it’s shut down:
bios.forceSetupOnce = “TRUE”

# The VMware Fusion BIOS posts too quickly to access.
Most users will not need to access the BIOS, but advanced users might want to do so, to change the boot order, set a boot password, or enable a second floppy drive. To work around this problem, use a text editor to add the following line to the configuration (.vmx) file of the virtual machine:
bios.forceSetupOnce = “TRUE”
The next time you boot up the virtual machine, it will automatically boot into the BIOS. This configuration option then reverts to FALSE. You must set the option to TRUE each time you want to boot the virtual machine into the BIOS.

  1. NOTE:

    Check the ” because if the font is wrong it changes it slightly and will error. Edit the file in notepad and replace the ” within notepad to be sure.
