To mount the drive with write permissionsģ. Update September 7th, 2014: As of VMware Fusion 7. Once you get the root prompt, type: /sbin/mount -uw / If you don’t do this quick enough, you’ll miss the window of opportunity.Ģ. Boot into single user mode by rebooting the VM and quickly giving focus to the screen and holding Command-S. I already installed the tools and then rebooted and got a kernel panic that wouldn’t go away, so I found your post too late. I am not sure if this thread is still relevant, but I was able to successfully run OSX 10.8 in VMFusion 4.1.3 with host version OSX 10.7.4 by performing these steps:

Edit (you'll need root power) services.sh in that same directory. The presentation was What’s New with VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion.Navigate to /Library > Application Support > VMware Tools.Just leave the installer running onscreen. But it does seem to install successfully in VMWare Fusion taking the 10.8.4 from Parallel, importing it to VMWare and running the upgrade there. It goes through the process, restarts and it just hangs on the gray screen. Run the VMWare Tools installer, but do not reboot when it's done. I even created a new VM from recovery under 10.8.4 and tried to upgrade to 10.9 Preview and no luck.So here's a workaround to get Mountain Lion working with VMware Tools (this assumes you have Mountain Lion already running in a virtual machine): Unfortunately, using virtual OS X without VMware Tools installed is painful-no screen resize, captured and laggy mouse, etc. This is simple in VMware Fusion, but if you try to install VMWare Tools, Mountain Lion will kernel panic. If you're a Mac developer with access to OS X Mountain Lion, you might want to use it in a virtual machine. I've left it here mainly for those using older versions of Fusion (though you may not be able to install newer Mountain Lion previews on those older versions of Fusion). Note: As of VMWare Fusion 4.1.2, this hack is no longer necessary.
