It's been a bit since I've used IDE-SCSI, but I'm pretty sure that the hd[x] device names are still semi-used with the ide-scsi driver. Specifically hdparm can find out information about the device using /dev/hd[x], but you cannot actually mount that device. As I said though, it has been a while, so I could be completely wrong.
