So how do I create/emulate a SCSI hard drive in miniVmac?

You need to create a large[r] disk image. This will give you and *effective* hard drive.
68k: Duo 230, 270c, 280c, DuoDock II, DuoDock Plus, Apple Minidock, Newertech Netdock & Ultradock 16sce, 540c, 190
PPC: 2300c, 5300ce, Performa 6500, Wallstreet II 300, B&W Powermac G3 500, iMac G3 700

PRAM? When in doubt, Pull it out!

Correct me if I´m wrong, but I dont think MiniVMac was meant to make use of real SCSI drives.
FusionPC, SoftMac and BasiliskII (some versions) could address Mac SCSI volumes on a PC host,
if that is what you are after.
Still running: 7100/80 and iMac Bondi blue with a few SCSI peripherals.

True. The large disks in Mini vMac are actually implemented as super-sized floppies with a custom floppy driver. There is no SCSI emulation as far as I've seen from looking at the code.
