Let me partially respond to my own question.  I CAN get to this device
if I 
        mknod /dev/hdd   b 22 64
        mknod /dev/hdd1 b 22 65
        mknod /dev/hdd4 b 22 68

So, is this a problem of the ide-floppy driver not being devfs aware or am I
doing something ELSE that is causing these devices (or devices with more 
appropriate names) not to be made automagically?
