--- Comment #15 from Christian Ullrich <ch...@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 = 0

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