They should. IIRC, there is a script that creates symlinks so they show up like 
this. Will have a look if it has been changed.

Same as above. Though I understand it maybe easier to have them in the devfs 
way for the iso, my personal preference is to have them separated as hda, sda, 
and so on.

I used to have ide-scsi, and it was emulated fine, devices included. Though, 
why use scsi emu ? Driver support perhaps?

I don't have scsi devices so I cannot test that anymore.

udev is going to suffer (it actually is suffering) quite big changes, so bumping 
its version, depending on what kernel you are running, can be edgy. I'll be back 
in while with more info.
