Gue22: How to easily enter a VMware machine's BIOS

Proposed changes:

* 1.1 Clarification for this line -> ''the vm doesn't need a hard drive'' - Got me confused where to install the OS?
because in 3.2 there is mention of hd: 'change the boot order so that it boots from cd, then hd'

* 1.3 To change this -> ''choose new floppy image'' -> to this: choose 'Create a blank floppy image' the way it's written on vmWorkstation..

* 5.3 To expand ''setup-alpine'' by including the instructions from the topic [[Install_to_disk|Install to disk -> setup-alpine]], except for the Reboot part.

* Command ''grsec pax_nouderef'' returns 'command not found' (using alpine-3.3.1-x86_64.iso). Need additional instruction on how to install grsec.

Thanks.

Re: "3 press f2 on boot to enter the BIOS
1 warning: this can be a real timing trick..."

Solution: Add
bios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE"
to the VM's .vmx file.
