VMware is a hypervisor not a cpu emulator. (It _does_ emulate various hardware _devices_ - disk, network, etc - but it runs native code directly on the cpu). > On the ARM64 side, I was expecting an ISO that I can run thru VMware Fusion > since it only accepts and runs ARM64 binaries. There is a recently-added arm64 iso in -current snapshots that you can try. If it doesn't work, show what you have tried, and explain what you see / what fails. (You can try to boot the installer without an iso too, but it's more fiddly, you need to get the miniroot file dd'd onto a virtual HD image and boot that; if the iso in -current boots, that's likely to be simpler).
