No, udev does not use fstab.

Look in your system log files when you boot the system to see if it is
found. It probably is, since if it wasn't, udev wouldn't create the
devices in /dev that you have.
You can also look though the /proc and/or /sys filesystems for
information about what devices the system found when it booted.
Depending on which kernel you are running, /proc/bus and/or /sys/bus or
/sys/block might be good places to look. I run Fedora 8 & 9, and my
systems no longer have hd devices. Everything is scsi now for me. That
means that I no longer have any IDE device structures. My optical
drives have sr0 and sr1 monikers and my hard drives are sda, sdb, and
sdc. Your's seem to still be using the "old" names.
