MacOS not detecting virtual disk properly?

Hello everyone,

 

I'm trying to install macOS in a virtual machine in Virtualbox. The installer works, but then I can't select a disk to install the OS onto, while I have created a virtual disk (VDI file) with a fixed size of 50GB which is attached to the VM.

 

So then I went into the disk utility, and clicked "view all devices", which revealed that apparently it sees the virtual hard disk as a CDROM drive?

I suppose disk1s1 is the drive I created, but when I click it in the installer all the options are greyed out and it says the disk has 32KB of capacity. The "mount" button is unresponsive and the "partition" button sends me right back to the main screen.

 

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
