So for my first home lab project I decided to start with Virtualizing Android. On VMware Workstation

The Android-x86 project has you covered for 99% of the journey except for this important detail they don't mention

REPLACE IN GRUB

quiet = nomodeset xforcevesa

FROM ANDROID CONSOLE

console:/ # mkdir /mnt/sda mount /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sda vi /mnt/sda/grub/menu.lst

This will have you boot into Android proper and not just dump you at a shell.

When you're editing menu.lst vi /mnt/sda/grub/menu.lst What are you changing?

replace "quiet" with "nomodeset xforcevesa"

that quote block is from my high speed notes so i can just copy paste in the future ?
