Have a look at /etc/rc.d/rc.sysvinit
From what I read there i think you can just make a rc0.d dir in /etc/rc.d (so that would be /etc/rc.d/rc0.d ) so VMware can put it scripts there.

but its looking for the files rc0.d - rc6.d its not actually a dir called rc0.d
its just where those files are located
is what i understand

Its looking for the rc.0-rc,6 directories. Non system V Linux/Unix systems have those directories with a scripts in them. Create them and vmware will install and then look in them for the script needed for the vmware services and copy it out of the rc.# and call it from another to run it manually.
