I have a virtual windows machine running in VMWare Player. In VMWare Workstation, there is an option Power On to BIOS, is there anything similar in VMWare Player to access the BIOS in order to change the boot order?
boot bios vmware-player bootable-media

You can add the following entry to the vmx file of the guest
bios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE"
Power on the guest VM and it will boot into BIOS once. The entry is automatically removed from the vmx file. Readd it to the vmx file, if you want to boot into the BIOS again.
