Is there any information around what the changes were in the ROM?
It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure this was the ROM from Workstation 9. There are instructions for extracting the BIOS ROM file in this thread: VMware BIOS modification - for Linux users, for those who are uncomfortable installing a BIOS ROM image of unknown provenance.
Note that this configuration is entirely unsupported, no matter where you get your ROM image.
