boot from a cd drive... be sure to "power on startup" the drive on your VM

You need to change only the boot order in the bios of the VM, the cd drives of the previous answers have with this nothing to do.

Edit the .vmx file (located in your virtual machine folder) and add the following line to the bottom of it:

ethernet0.opromsize="0"

OR

ethernet0.opromsize="TRUE"
