Whenever I try to create a VM (played around almost all options in the wizard, can't find the root cause), I get error
"[volblocksize] Invalid choice: 256k"

What am I missing?

Did you create the zvol for the virtual disk in advance? Try to do that. Use a volblocksite of 16k for a FreeBSD VM with UFS and 4k for Linux with Ext4 or Windows with NTFS.

I am not sure how the wizard in the VM creation dialog could ever try to create a zvol with a blocksize of 256k, but then you did not tell us anything about the FreeNAS/TrueNAS version you are running and the process of your VM creation.
