Message:

Frontends/VBoxManage+Storage/VMDK+doc/manual: 'VBoxManage createmedium
disk --Variant Rawdisk ...' neglects to use the calculated raw disk size
but instead uses the passed in value which is zero (unless --size or
--sizebyte has been specified) when creating the VMDK image and also
forgets to update the physical disk geometry (PCHS) for the VMDK image.
