Today I just got to know there are some ways to boot into Vmware workstation's BIOS :
1. As Vmware prompt, press F2 to enter into setup. But there will be a problem. The system always runs faster then you hit F2. You always see the system boot into hard disk:( Not the BIOS you want to see;
2. Update the .vmx configuration file:
1) add :
bios.bootDelay = "5000"; this adds a 5000 ms (5 seconds) But according to my test, Vmware could not recognize the parameter. I think this one only work for the old version VMware Workstation, it's not working for 6.5;
2) add
bios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE" ;
This works fine. I entered into the BIOS directly after power on. (Remember, the next when you power on it will automatically change to "bios.forceSetupOnce = "False"". You have to change it back again.
