No. That is also why the naming scheme changed.
Form an earlier post:

/dev/hda0 -> 0x0301
/dev/hda1 -> 0x0302
/dev/hda2 -> 0x0303
/dev/hda3 -> 0x0304
/dev/hda4 -> 0x0305 (Extended partitions...)

/dev/hdb0 -> 0x0341
/dev/hdb1 -> 0x0342
/dev/hdb2 -> 0x0343
/dev/hdb3 -> 0x0344
/dev/hdb4 -> 0x0345 (Extended partitions...)

Someone please flame me if I remembered it wrong...
