Guide - https://community.broadcom.com/vmware-cloud-foundation/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=ccd772d2-c10e-4bbc-87f1-228fa577e19f&CommunityKey=0c3a2021-5113-4ad1-af9e-018f5da40bc0
VMX settings:
serial0.present = "TRUE"
serial0.yieldOnMsrRead = "TRUE"
serial0.fileType = "network"
serial0.fileName = "telnet://:7777"
After these are in place, boot the VM, make sure to add e.g. "console=ttyS0" to boot options, and
telnet to 127.0.0.1:7777 to interact with the VM.
