Hi, you are absolutely right - there is no tutorial in the web explaining how to install DSM on VMWare Fusion.
So I am one of the lost ones and I'm still having problems to get it work.... and your post was the only I found about this subject (sorry for reviving it after one year)
So first I'm not sure how to handle the file synoboot.img (extracting the zip bootloader ds3615xs (Loader 1.03b)). Do I have to convert it to a vmdk-file (using Starwind V2V Converter) ??
and then which option in VMWare Fusion is necessary "Creating a customized new VM" or "Importing an existing VM" ??
as default in VMWare Fusion the bustype is SCSI....do I have to change it to SATA? or do I have to remove it and the then creating a new on as SATA?
Thanks for help
Rainer
