Patch the Fusion EFI boot ROMs
Fusion blocks the use of regular 10.6 (not server) in the EFI ROM. To work around this, patch it using the EFI unlocker from GitHub. Uncompress in your downloads folder. Open the Terminal and run the following two commands:
cd /Users/$USER/Downloads/efi-unlocker-master
./efi-macos.sh
I bought M1 MacBook Air. It is the fastest computer I have, and I have been a GNOME/GNU/Linux user for long time. It is obvious conclusion that I need practical Linux desktop environment on Apple Silicon.
Fortunately, Linux already works on Apple Silicon/M1. But how practical is it?
##Use Powershell to Remove Network Boot Devices from the Boot Order
You can use PowerShell to strip the Network BootTypes from the VMs boot order.
###Extract the Current Boot Order Using Powershell you can use this command to extract the current boot order:
$old_boot_order = Get-VMFirmware -VMName testvm -ComputerName MyHyperVHost `
| Select-Object -ExpandProperty BootOrder
If you inspect $old_boot_order You should see the list of boot devices for testvm. Something like this:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/4432ed3d3951613a10aa7180a384724ebea4314d/install.sh)"

The principle here is simple: Have a ready Windows installation on a partition on a GPT disk. Then add the boot files and boot record to an MBR disk, and add a bootloader entry to the BCD pointing to the Windows installation (more precisely, winload.exe) Install in BIOS mode on MBR and then convert using gptgen Install in UEFI mode using DUET. (ONLY for 64-bit!) Apply the windows install image (install.wim) using ImageX (Windows 7) or DISM (Windows 8+)on the GPT disk (best)
Next insert the Windows DVD, and that small disk, whatever it may be. Open the command prompt.
Use diskpart to verify for yourself which drives are data drives, and which is your windows boot drive. For safety, I recommend removing the drive letters of all other drives except the windows boot drive, which I'll refer to as C:, using the command :
Put the EFI Shell as EFI_System_Partition/EFI/BOOT/Bootx64.efi and the following script as EFI_System_Partition/EFI/BOOT/Startup.nsh

For 10.4-10.6 systems, VMware restricts the installation to only the server version. Installing the client version requires some modifications. There are two methods:
Add the /System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist empty file, pretending that the server system is installing in VMware. You can use the snowyhack.sh script to process images in macOS.
