Start the virtual machine, immediately click inside the window and start whacking the key for Boot Options (F12 I think it is). Always works for me. Also, try removing all possible boot devices (remove CD-ROM, Ethernet, etc.) and boot and then I think it should give you time to hit the right key. ;)

 

P.S. I never thought I'd see a topic titled "VMware is too fast!" :P

1. Place finger on key

2. Click Start (Play button)

3. As soon as or even before you hit start, press the key repeatedly and rapidly.

 

May take you a couple times, but definitely not 50. Took me at most 8.

Neither did I. That's why I clicked into this. I was going to say 'There's no such thing as a VM that's too fast. That's like saying there's enough HDD space or enough RAM. There's never enough.' But I didn't have to, until I just typed it out now.

Add the lines I wrote about into the VMX file and you get a delay at the BIOS setup screen:

 

bios.bootDelay = "3000"

 

Or if you want to force a bios setup add the following to the VMX file, it is set to false after use:

 

bios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE"

 

Works for Workstation 6.0.2 and Fusion 1.1.0
