I only had to make 1 change in the vm guest definition to get a larger virtual harddisk to work.
Go ahead and define your vm as normal, hard disk size and all, and before you power it up "edit settings" and change the scsi controller type.

Nope couldn't get them in here, so attached them.
And when i booted using the iso and ran tc-install, sda appears to install too.
