it works here:

[paulj at rossi uml]$ ls -l /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target{0,1}/lun0
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0:
total 0
brw-------    1 root     root       3,   0 Jan  1  1970 disc
brw-------    1 root     root       3,   1 Jan  1  1970 part1
brw-------    1 root     root       3,  10 Jan  1  1970 part10
brw-------    1 root     root       3,  11 Jan  1  1970 part11
brw-------    1 root     root       3,  12 Jan  1  1970 part12
brw-------    1 root     root       3,   5 Jan  1  1970 part5

brw-------    1 root     root       3,   9 Jan  1  1970 part9

/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0:

brw-rw-rw-    1 root     root       3,  64 Jan  1  1970 cd

also has handy link directories like /dev/cdroms, which will have links to
all your cd's (be they ide, scsi, etc..):

[paulj at rossi uml]$ ls -l /dev/cdroms/
total 0
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           33 Jan  1  1970 cdrom0 ->
../ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd

there's a /dev/disc aswell, for hard disks..

etc...

this is in 2.4 and also as a patch to 2.2.
