Description Robert Yang 2014-10-26 08:24:11 UTC 
If we set these in local.conf:

IMAGE_FSTYPES += "vmdk"
IMAGE_FSTYPES += "live"
SYSLINUX_LABELS = "boot"
SYSLINUX_TIMEOUT = "50"
AUTO_SYSLINUXMENU = "1" 

Then the vmdk doesn't work since the settings in image-live.bbclass and image-vmdk.bbclass are conflicted:

image-live.bbclass:
INITRD_IMAGE ?= "core-image-minimal-initramfs"
INITRD ?= "${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/${INITRD_IMAGE}-${MACHINE}.cpio.gz"
SYSLINUX_ROOT = "root=/dev/ram0"
SYSLINUX_TIMEOUT ?= "10"
SYSLINUX_LABELS ?= "boot install"

image-vmdk.bbclass:
SYSLINUX_ROOT ?= "root=/dev/sda2"
SYSLINUX_PROMPT ?= "0"
SYSLINUX_TIMEOUT ?= "10"
SYSLINUX_LABELS = "boot"

Note the conflicts are INITRD and SYSLINUX_ROOT, the INITRD is for core-image-minimal-initramfs, not for the image-image such as core-image-sato, and the SYSLINUX_ROOT are different.
