This has to do with devfs naming scheme and Gentoo uses and needs it to run.
But devfs is being deprecated in favor of udev. Don't know how the udev 
naming scheme is.

You can have the normal hda? names as symlinks to the others. They 
simply aren't created by default.

Note that this is Gentoo specific (more devfs specific, really). Is not 
related to coLinux in any way.
