sebus Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Seems that it is possible to do in Fusion: https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2012/06/21/netboot-support-now-available-for-os-x-vms-in-vmware-fusions-technology-preview/ but would it be possible in Workstation 11 to boot Mac VM from Mac (existing physical machine on the network) NetBoot server sebus Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304957-netboot-vm/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donk Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Should be doable as the Netboot code is built into the EFI Firmware. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304957-netboot-vm/#findComment-2118364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebus Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Doable as "fixed" or it should just boot as it is? At the moment with bridged network EFI boot Mac 10.x VM I can not get it going... sebus Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304957-netboot-vm/#findComment-2118576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebus Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Is that build into EFI firmware in Fusion only? sebus Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304957-netboot-vm/#findComment-2120258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebus Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Used vmx-efi64.rom extracted from Fusion 7, but on network boot attempt I still get only: Start PXE over IPv4. which obviously will not make netboot possible (as Macs do not use PXE) sebus Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304957-netboot-vm/#findComment-2120347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
