Getting VMware Player to boot from EFI

$

Hi,

 

I've tried to boot in EFI mode in VMware Player (6.03) but so far I wasn't able to boot from any media I've tried.

 

I've tried to boot from the Archlinux boot CD: https://www.archlinux.org/download/ which worked on my production system but I'm not able to boot from this CD.

In the UEFI menu I've selected "Boot Manager" -> "EFI VMware Virtual IDE CDROM Drive" but nothing happened.

 

Attached is also a virtual hard drive where I have installed Gummiboot. I've tried to boot from the HDD from the boot manager selecting the virtual SCSI hard drive and I've also tried "Boot Maintenance Manager" -> "Boot from a file" -> "ARCHBOOT" -> "EFI" -> "gummiboot" -> "gummibootx64.efi" which also didn't help.

 

Can anybody tell me what's going wrong?

 

 

Regards

Martin
