There was an identical situation with the m68k SCSI devices, i.e. no sdc or
sdd, which I fixed some time ago. The problem lies with MAKEDEV in the
section:

generic-m68k)
    $0 $opts std
    $0 $opts fd
    $0 $opts fd0-bare fd1-bare
    $0 $opts hda hdb
    $0 $opts sda sdb
    $0 $opts ada adb

basedisks.sh calls MAKEDEV a couple of times, first of all like this:

# non-architecture-dependant devices
( cd $B/dev && /sbin/MAKEDEV generic hde hdf hdg hdh sde sdf sdg sdh scd-all
initrd rtc )

Which drops sdc, sdd, hdc and hdd for m68k. Then it call MAKEDEV again to
create the architecture dependent devices:

m68k)
#   # temporarily added sdc and sdd until MAKEDEV generic gets fixed for
m68k
    (cd $B/dev && /sbin/MAKEDEV adc add ade adf sdc sdd)

I added the missing sdc and sdd devices and filed a bug report #61027
against makedev, you'll need to append hdc and hdd here as well.
