bios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE"

introduced in WS 6.0.1 / Fusion
bios440.fileName = "name of replacement bios file"
replace theoriginal VMware BIOS with your own one - highly experimental and unsupported of course
bios.bootOrder = "ethernet2"
bios.bootOrder = "ide0:0"
bios.bootOrder = "scsi0:0"
NEW: in WS 7 and Fusion 3 you can set the boot-device ...
the first example boots from the second nic
the second example boots from IDE-disk or CDrom
the last example boots from scsi-disk at controller 0 : 0
