As far as any output, it was all being sent to the vm's display. Either way, from the very little I could see on the vm's window, it was pretty obvious that Linux was never actually booting. After I'd power it on, it would take me to something that looked like a grub menu and then right afterwards, have a tiny bit of text in the top left corner that would never change. Typically, on any other Linux installation inside VMWare, once the grub menu displays and you make a selection, you'd see a great deal of text scroll on the display. This scrolling would normally take at least a few seconds and then either stop or clear out when it reaches the end, leaving you with the login area where you enter your username and password. I'd also tried to do the same installation outside of VMWare player and everything worked as I'd expect it to, so I figured it was something caused by VMWare itself. I figured it was worth mentioning here in this thread, as if it is the same problem, Debian failing to boot, it would certainly explain why there's no speech. :) Take care.
