When ever booting the VM I'm promted with the following screen. No matter what Drive interface I use. (Sata,IDE,SCSI) 1613190190592.png
 
The trick for me (HAOS guest system, Linux-based, installed with EFI in VMWare) was to change:
- SCSI controller type from default LSI to VirtIO SCSI
- BIOS type from default SeaBIOS to OVMF (UEFI)
And of course add a network adapter of the same type (in my case it was E1000), I copied over the MAC address too, so just got the same IP address as before from DHCP.
