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：

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
