To be specific, FC6 *does* have "SDA" devices (namely, SCSI disk 
devices), however, it seems that your system isn't autodetecting the USB 
Mass Storage devices, which uses SCSI emulation, so they appear as a 
/dev/sd* device.

On recent Fedora (and other distros) systems, USB driver detection is 
done by a process that detects devices being inserted.  It should 
automatically load the appropriate module, in your case, usb_storage. 
Check to see if that kernel module is loaded by looking at the output of 
/sbin/lsmod.

It'd be interesting if you could give us the output of /sbin/lsusb 
(which is a command-line tool to list all USB devices the computer can see.)
