Thank you very much Sean. I have also received some instructions regarding that, so if anyone else has similar issues:
1) Connect another VM to the simulator using a serial over network connection. See: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2004954
2) Change the VLOADER setting as Sean has said: setenv console comconsole
3) Connect from the other VM using Putty (or similar) on a COM port. Default baud rate is 9600.
Regards
Marcus
