I have no actual knowledge of these devices myself.
I read in /etc/makedev.d/linux-2.6.x:
b $STORAGE 80 0 1 16 i2o/hda
b $STORAGE 80 16 1 16 i2o/hdb

b $STORAGE 81 224 1 16 i2o/hdae
b $STORAGE 81 240 1 16 i2o/hdaf
...
and interpreted this to mean partitions of the form i2o/hd?[a-z]
I did find this description in the kernel Documentation/devices.txt:
80 block I2O hard disk
0 = /dev/i2o/hda First I2O hard disk, whole disk
16 = /dev/i2o/hdb Second I2O hard disk, whole disk
...
240 = /dev/i2o/hdp 16th I2O hard disk, whole disk
Partitions are handled in the same way as for IDE
disks (see major number 3) except that the limit on
partitions is 15.
so maybe there is a bug in MAKEDEV?

Excellent.
