there was an old discussion about this, Re: Can Fusion boot from USB Drives?
this is useful to experiment with booting parameters and setup.
so I tried the plop boot manager, and although a starfield-background prompt allows me to select a device (incl usb), and although I know that my USB (3) stick is connected at this point, I still get on the next screen "Boot Error\nno boot device found, please retry it."
is anyone successfully booting USB sticks as of 2014 on vmware fusion 7.0.1? if so, how?
