[openbeos] Larger Disk for VMWare Image

I wanted to use the build-factory provided vmware image to do some development, however this proved difficult since the image is using a fixed size of 250 MB disk. Would it be possible to make the build-factory use a disk type that allows to increase in size?

I tried to expand the disk manually using the vmware-vdiskmanager like so:
vmware-vdiskmanager -r Haiku.vmdk -t 0 Haiku-big.vmdk
vmware-vdiskmanager -x 5GB Haiku-big.vmdk

This worked as expected and vmware saw it as a 5GB disk. Haiku however kept seeing it as a 250MB disk :(
