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：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：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。
