Booting off a ISO in VMware

Sometimes it can be a hassle to get the damn things to boot off a iso.

In order to force it using the BIOS setup, you also have to hit F2 within a very short timeframe. To get around this, just add bios.bootDelay =”delay in milliseconds” to the vm’s vmx file.

Hope it saves you some time fiddeling about.

After looking franticly for this feature after upgradring I figured out that you now have to manually enable it. To do so, just follow these three simple steps.

  1. Go to Universal Access in System Preferences
  2. Turn on Zoom with the radio button.
  3. Click on Options and tick Use scroll wheel with modifier keys to zoom.
You’re good to go!
