Android

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?

 

[KiloKamilo]

replace "quiet" with "nomodeset xforcevesa"

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

I get it, just wanted to ask the question now so in 2 years it's answered
