It shouldn't be fatal. If the file doesn't exixts in /dev/ it should
use the hex number. Also xen-3.0.3 has an internal table for some devices,
so just using 'hda' should work too (but you'll still get the error as it
first tries to find the node in /dev/)

No, it's not. Here's what I used for example:
disk = [ 'file:/domains/rock0.vnd,hda,w', 'file:/domains2/rock1.vnd,hdb,w' ]

and I don't have /dev/hda or /dev/hdb.
