I haven't heard anything about debugging with VMware as of yet.

If you want a working OS-level debugger, try Bochs instead. There's a special debugger version that is _very_ handy to have.

yes, debugging mbr use Bochs debugger is good way .but in fact there are a few folks there familiar with this solution[VMWARE+WINDBG debugging mbr],
for example: ReactOS 360safe[this is a China organise]

so, I’m interested in this technique.......
