Installer, step 1

I wanted to to test FreeBSD 12.1, so I setup a VM on my Mac (VmWare Fusion), with a 256G NVME disk.
I booted of the DISK1 ISO CD, choose Guided Root-on-ZFS partitioning, but could not select nvd0 disk. see 3 images.
Did I do something wrong, or is there something broken?

Output is correct, gpart doesn't have anything to output as the disk is likely newly created, and nvd(4) isn't using CAM subsystem, so camcontrol doesn't have any (non-error) output.

You should simply proceed with "Pool type/disks", selecting "Stripe", and eventually "nvd0" as the disk.

Ok, thanks, sorry for the noise.
