    Check the things highlighted in bold

    right clicked on fusion file and
    Show package contents
    dragged HP_SLIC_2.1.ROM into package.
    Finder/Preferences and tick "show all filename extentions" (this will show you the full name of the VMware machine name, needed for the path to the BIOS)

    Right clicked on .vmx file and added the line
    bios440.filename = "HP_SLIC_2.1.ROM" (you must use the exact path. eg. "/Users/jacko0/Documents/Virtuial machines.localized/Windows7.vmware/ HP_SLIC_2.1.ROM"
    saved and closed.
    Delete VMWAREname.nvram file (it get recreated on boot,. I found that the after modifiying the vmx file with the path to the BIOS you need to delete the nvram file.

    This worked for me in VMWARE Fusion 3 running Windows 7 ;)
