Answer 1

I create all my virtual devices through the dialog in Eclipse. Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager > New (button). It has input controls for SD card specs.

Answer 2

this easiest way to make sure your sd card is properly associated to your emulator instance is to create an AVD with an SD card. Do it as follows : in Eclipse: Window=> android SDK and AVD manager=>New :

-give a name to your AVD (no space allowed)
-give a SDK target
-give size to the wanted SDcard
-create the new AVD

Or, 2nd solution, you already have your own AVD and you want to add a SD card to it: open a command prompt or terminal (windows/ linux?) cd to your sdk/tools directory execute the following :
mksdcard 256M NameOfYourCard
(you can pass the size you want ofc)

and then, put the following in you run configuration in the "Launch Additional command line" field :

-sdcard fullPathToYourCard

It should work. If it's not clear, have a look in here for more detailled procedure

Answer 3

You can use the android tool, a command-line utility available in the SDK/tools/ directory.

Here's a complete tutorial on how to do this.
