We have quite a few of those running - I don’t recall if any are still booting in BIOS mode, but we definitely had some in the past. Can you share your config and some more details?

Do you mean the VMWare config?

No, the nixos config you try to use inside the vm

Didn’t get that far, the install media just rebooted on each of the options.

So what are the contents of /mnt/etc/nixos ? That’s the configuration that is built inside the VM when you run the installer.
