No, not so far.  The raw disk access is using the old naming scheme

 \device\harddiskX\partitionY

which is backward compatible to NT4.  I never experimented with dynamic
disks so I don't know the NT native naming scheme so far.  Adding these
shouldn't be overly complicated if the naming scheme is known, though.
