script to start for every boot

I wish to run script everytime my Debian virtual machine starts because I attached OS to cdrom so when machine reboots I lost all settings.

I need to run this script to set resolution, vi settings, ... It's possibile in Vmware Fusion to make it?

Debian and Ubuntu LiveCDs have a builtin feature that allows you to use a  file or a partition as persistent storage. If I remember right the feature is called "Persistece"
You would use a normal vmdk and prepare it for this feature.
Then you boot from CD and use a special cheatcode at boot time to activate the persistence-file / partition.
You then create  custom startup scripts to coonfigure various options ...
This is completely done within the guestOS - no special Fusion-feature necessary.
