设置VMware启动进入BIOS以及对UEFI的支持
Vmware虚拟机进入BIOS方法
在VMware里面如何进入BIOS是个头疼的问题，因为启动界面一闪而过（下面两个图如果不设置bios.bootDelay，基本上很难抓到），即使你狂按F2或ESC键（ESC: 调整启动顺序;F2: 进入BIOS Setup) ，绝大部分都无法进入BIOS。因为VMware启动界面显示时间太短、系统无法识别按键而直接开启了系统。
研究了一下，发现VMware的配置文件.vmx可以控制这个过程, 网上提示有两种参数可以设置来解决这个问题：
1. 加入一行：
复制代码
代码如下:
bios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE" ；
开机就自动进入BIOS!
不过VMware启动后，会将该参数由TRUE变为FALSE，如果您还要继续使用BIOS，就再手动改成TRUE即可；
2. 延长启动画面时间：
复制代码
代码如下:
bios.bootDelay = "10000"；
10000为10秒。
特意在Vmware上测试了一下，如下所示，找到服务器GETTESTLX的Vmware的配置文件，具体内容如下所示，在配置文件末尾配置上面两个参数都能顺利进入BIOS。
所以一般的配置文件范例大约是：
复制代码
代码如下:

让VMware虚拟机支持UEFI BIOS
第一步、新建虚拟机，在虚拟机工作目录下找到.vmx格式文件，使用记事本程序，打开该文件，在文件中添加：firmware = "efi"
第二步、开启虚拟机电源后，按下ESC键，稍等一会儿，会进入UEFI设置界面，包括三个选项：
(1)、Continue：继续，系统会自动选择UEFI设备，如果没有的话，会出现提示错误界面
(2)、Boot Manager：启动管理，用于指定UEFI启动设备
(3)、Boot Maintenance Manager：开机维护管理员,用于管理启动设备、启动文件、屏幕大小等
