VMWARE Server 2.0 Guest Bios access

Grigsby

I thought I would post this here since I figured most / some of you are virtualizing your OSes instead of using hardware for each one.

I have noticed recently that when I go to boot my guest OS from the web access on VMWare 2.0 server, that it doesn't seem to go through the splash screen to access the bios. I could have sworn it did this previously, but I am having a time figuring out where I lost it.

Anyone familiar with this?

It will bypass it. You need to go into Configure VM and on the Power tab check the box beside "Enter the BIOS setup screen the next time this virtual machine boots".
