vmx options for OS X under VMWare
# These fields need to be in the vmx for OS X to function. You will probably need to delete the
# existing guestOS and ethernet0.virtualdev entries. You will also need to make sure the disk
# has been added as SCSI, and set as boot drive.
# You might also want to set a cron task as root in the VM to run:
# @reboot /usr/sbin/networksetup -detectnewhardware
# to make sure the VM configures networking
virtualHW.version = "9"
firmware="efi"
# FakeSMC can fake this. This only works on Apple hardware.
