--- Comment #15 from Christian Ullrich <chris@chrullrich.net> ---
A hard disk installation also boots successfully after deleting the .nvram
file, but the system clock setting is lost, i.e. unless the host is in UTC,=
 the
VM will be in the wrong time zone after booting. This can be worked around =
by
adding

rtc.diffFromUTC =3D 0

to the .vmx file. Source:
https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Timekeeping-In-VirtualMachines.p=
df,
page 10.

There does not appear to be a lot of other important data in the EFI NVRAM =
on
VMware. In cases where the automatically selected hard disk boot option is =
the
right one, deleting the .nvram file may be a usable workaround.
