Cannot get macOS Catalina to boot up into recovery mode on a VM

Question

I have a VM running MacOS 10.15 beta 2 (Catalina) on VMWare Fusion 11.

I want to boot it into recover mode.

I have tried holding down R, Command+R, and I added macosguest.forceRecoveryModeInstall = "TRUE" to the macOS.Catalina.vmx file and none of these worked.

Has anyone had any success with this? If so, please share your tips. Any information is greatly appreciated.

I faced the same issue when I wanted to disable SIP, I bypassed this by set csrutil to disable during first recovery mode during installation the Catalina, once installed, you cannot get into it anymore
