Unfortunately, I'm struggling under the weight of my own ignorance here.
:^) I don't use SCSI anything except to make my CD-RW work so my
knowledge there is limited. (I guess my digital camera also uses some
SCSI stuff, but again that's in terms of "this works, good enough".)
Similarly, I don't know anything about VMWare. Consequently, I can't
really help much with setting up Gentoo with SCSI or VMWare. :^(

I do recommend irc.openprojects.net/#gentoo and the gentoo-{user,newbie}
mailing lists as a place to go for help. The folks there have been
fairly helpful.

Sorry. :^\

Regards,
matt
