Boot to macOS Recovery in VMware Fusion 11
I found the following three ways to boot to macOS recovery in VMware Fusion, sadly they don’t all work in version 11:
- Add macosguest.forceRecoveryModeInstall = "TRUE" to you .vmx file – however it doesn’t seem to work with APFS volumes
- Add bios.bootDelay = "5000" to your .vmx file and press CMD+R during boot – doesn’t seem to work (it opens VMware Boot Manager)
- Use vfuse from Joe Chilcote with an AutoDMG dmg with the –recovery flag (thanks Arek!)
I found a fourth way that seem to work with VMware Fusion 11:
press “R” at the VMware logo (you may need to click in the VM so it captures your keystrokes)
Select Enter Setup
Select Boot from a File
Select Recovery,[…]
Select <[…]>
Select boot.efi
