Hi.
1.) Is there someone who + already built a LinuxBIOS/OpenBIOS for VMware? + is interested in building a LinuxBIOS/OpenBIOS for VMware?
then please let the LinuxBIOS/OpenBIOS community and me know about your work.
2.) If you think: "How to use 3rd party / modified BIOS in VMware" after reading the question(s) above, then you should check following links:

Using VMware to debug BIOS?
Then it may need virtuallization layer like the real HW.
For AMD opteron platform, I can use SimNow to debug LinuxBIOS, including RAM initializaition....
Also the LinuxBIOS rely on serial port, there is pipe in SimNow to direct the serial port output....

I have not yet tested LinuxBIOS with VMWare, but LinuxBIOS has worked with Xen. Check out Ron Minnich's work with Xen and Plan9.
