Thanks! I had confused the absence of the node with the absence of the drive. I'm assuming you meant: # cd /dev # sh ./MAKEDEV sd1 After more testing, it looks like there is non-deterministic behaviour: at each reboot either the thumb drive is recognized (i.e. sd1 appears in dmesg) or it isn't (no sd1 in dmesg, but "uhub1: device problem, disabling port 1"). Sometimes unplugging and replugging the hub or drive gets it recognized, but not always. At least this allowed me to install the system, after a lucky reboot...
