I have VMware Fusion 10.



I have created VM with Other Linux 3.x kernel.



I have downloaded OpenWRT OS image openwrt-18.06.1-x86-64-combined-ext4.img



My question is how can I boot my OpenWRT OS from that .img file on my VM?



  1. When I start my VM I have this screen:

enter image description here



  1. Then VM opens Boot Manager:

enter image description here



So, how to tell VM to boot OS from .img file?



I'm on macOS High Sierra 10.13.4

  • Welcome, You should convert the .img to .vmdk. I am not experienced with Vmware but it work perfectly under VirtualBox.

  • OpenWrt requires legacy boot, I think. I'm pretty sure it won't boot with EFI.

  • You'll have to find the right setting in VMware Fusion to boot the guest with legacy boot instead of EFI.
