Comment (by tangobravo):
I've just done it in VirtualBox with a 320GB image.
1. Select the drive. Partition->Initialize->Intel Partition Map (agree to
all the warnings)
2. Select the empty space. Partition->Create. It should be BFS by default.
3. Select the partition. Partition->Initialize->Be File System.
I agree it's not 100% clear what's going on, but the first step sets up an
MBR, the second step alters the MBR to contain a type BFS partition that
fills the drive, and the third step formats that partition as BFS.
