Try running cfdisk outside of the void-installer. This sho= uld allow you to set the first partition to be bootable. If you're part= itioning from inside the installer I don't think it allows you to do th= at, so partition before running the installer, then set the filesystem moun= t points.

Hey. I'm having trouble with cfdi= sk and GPT.
I've tried a bunch of things, but I'm completely los= t and I can't find any answers elsewhere.

Firstly this is what = my cfdisk looks like. http://i.imgur.com/WtAXxgv.png (this is an example, I hav= e the /boot/efi partition and the / partition here when I actually try. Tha= t or whatever partition or type I add/change to experiment)
I haven'= t seen a tutorial or example with their menu like this.

On the scree= n before entering the tool I've read this http://i.imgur.com/9KdfoN9.png = but how do I toggle that partition as bootable?
Nothing happens when I = press b and I don't even have a boot column like in other examples.
When I do try it I get an error installing GRUB. http://i.imgur.com/M9XExWy.pn= g
And when I use alt+F8 to check the error I see something like this= . http:/= /i.imgur.com/c20v9rv.png
Where I tend to focus in on "there is = no BIOS boot partition"

I've tried setting the boot partiti= on as "BIOS Boot" type and it "works" in that the insta= llation completes, but then when I try booting the VM I get "GRUB _&qu= ot; frozen on the screen. Nothing happens.
May I please get some guidanc= e here? I really want to test out and get used to Void before installing it= on my Thinkpad later. I'm quite an amateur so sorry if I'm missing= something obvious.

this wiki page is obsolete. cfdisk from util-linux-2.25 supports GPT= just fine, so that there's no need
to depend on parted anymore.
