Solution 1:

I wouldn’t bother with recovery mode if you are running in a hypervisor. You can change the resolution of the “hardware” with drivers and a configuration file in vmware by editing the vmx file.

Can you ask a follow on question listing your specific version of vmware and your host OS and any non-standard steps you took on that setup if you need further help with your virtualization config. They can be finicky and often we need specific details to solve issues like yours.

Solution 2:

I have Big Sur (macOS 11.5.1) installed in a VMware virtual machine. Below is my configuration.

VMware Fusion Player version 12.1.2 (17964953)
Host operating system: Catalina (macOS 10.15.7)
Host machine: Apple iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013)

The initial screen resolution after installing was set to 1024x768 and could not be changed on the Display pane of System Preferences in Big Sur. However, after installing "VMware Tools" in Big Sur, the screen resolution automatically updates when the virtual machine window is resized by using the mouse. I can increase the resolution up to the current resolution of the iMac display. The maximum resolution of the iMac display is 1920x1080.

If installing VMware Tools, does not solve your screen resolution problem, then you might consider updating your question to include the following.

VMware Fusion Player version
Host operating system
Host machine

Additional Comments

  • The VMware virtual firmware does not recognize any of the Mac startup key combinations.

  • The closest you can come to booting to Recovery Mode for Big Sur would be to create a virtual bootable installer for macOS Big Sur, then boot from this installer. See How to create a bootable installer for macOS.

  • To disable SIP, see How to disable SIP when Big Sur is installed in a VMware Fusion Player virtual machine.
