I had the same problem last week after compiling a customized kernel.
I forgot to select the "SCSI disk support" option. As far as i know
it's necessary to create a /dev/sd...

The "SCSI disk support" option is not enabled when you choose "USB
Mass Storage Support", but most USB storage devices need it.

You'll find "SCSI disk support" in "Devices Drivers" and then in "SCSI
device support".

Of course, if you did'nt compile your kernel, the lines above are out
of topic.
