Actually, usb-storage devices won't show up as /dev/fd0 since that's the
legacy AT floppy device, unless you're on a laptop whose BIOS emulates the
AT device. Even then, it should stop doing so when you load a proper USB
stack.
I'd look for /dev/sda most likely, since if you do not have any other
"SCSI" devices, usb-storage will define a USB floppy as the first one.
