Unplug and plug the USB media back on, and see if the console spits out
the device, something like:

sd4 at scsibus5 targ 1 lun 0: <Kingston, DataTraveler 3.0, > ...

Then enter "!" on the installer prompt to drop to a shell, check if the
node exists in /dev (e.g. "ls /dev/sd4*", change sd4 to whatever is
relevant in your case) and if it doesn't, create it using MAKEDEV (e.g.:
"cd /dev; sh ./MAKEDEV sd4").

Exit the shell to get back to the installer and see if the media is
now detected.

(caveat: commands above were written from memory, might not be 100%
correct)
