Hold down the spacebar when booting.
You'll see a number of settings in the "safe menu", where you can initially disable calling the bios.
Then, once you are in BeOS, change the dma setting as per betips.net
I forget where or how, but it's on that site.

You can't disable DMA for a virtual disk, for the reason it's virtual :-)
I think you want to disable DMA on the disk hosting the image.be file corresponding to the virtual disk.
