I think it would be better to unify the ide and scsi options. I suggest 
something like the -net options:

-disk [file=]<finename>,[type={disk,cdrom}][,id={ide,scsi}[N]]
[,format={raw,qcow,...}]

With the existing options being aliases, eg.
-hda fat:foo => -disk file=foo,type-disk,id=ide0,type=vfat
-cdrom bar => -disk bar,type=cdrom,id=ide2

Then make the device emulation lookup devices by id.

Either that or just implement config file support.
