I would search for examples of adding external drives to crypttab and
fstab, then set it up for that particular vm using
/rw/config/rc.local.

Hi Chris,
How do I give this VM access to the drive in question, before it
starts up (and runs the custom script)? If I write a normal script to
mount/decrypt the it doesnt work, in part, because it doesnt have
access to the disk yet, which I can attach only after it has started up.

You could add a udev rule to dom0 that executes a 'qvm-block -a' command
to attach the drive to the vm. Actually, this rule could do all the
work: After qvm-block, use qvm-run to send the cryptsetup and mount
commands to the vm. Probably you don't need crypttab.
