Chris, This doesn't seem like a fedora issue. I've installed fedra on several VMs and not had any problem other than Vmware tools mucking up the X configuration. I've since learned to copy XF86Config before installing Vmware tools so I can copy it back after... This sounds like a boot order issue within the VM. Start the VM and immediately click inside the blank window. When the Vmware logo comes up, press F2 to get into the virtual BOIS settings. From there check your boot order. Make sure the Vmware Virtual SCSI drive is both listed and not disabled. Save and exit (like any other BIOS) and cross your fingers.
