OPNsense 24.7 DVD/ISO installer on Vmware 7.0U2 v19 virtual machine

I created a new VM and booted it from the installer ISO in UEFI mode. It boots fine, then I log in as "installer". It asks me on which device to install OPNsense, and I choose a ZFS install type "stripe". I choose the only device available, da0, which is an 8-GB virtual disk that I created as new with the VM. It warns me that the disk will be wiped and I select YES. Then I get the attached error (also quoted in subject).

Some web searches didn't turn up much, so I shut down the VM, increased the disk size to 10 GB and tried again. This time the installer succedded, but 'zpool list' shows that ZROOT is only 2 GB. What do I have to do to get the installer to use the whole virtual disk?


The installer creates an 8 GB swap partition. The virtual disks needs to be 20 - 30 GB at least.
