USB modules are on the ISO. However, they are not part of the inird (and 
thus do not appear on the initrd menu) to reduce the initrd size. USB 
modules should be automatically loaded by hotplug (which is started 
before the installater menu). I tested here with a USB mass storage 
device and usb-storage kernel module was properly and automatically 
loaded. The test has been done using uhci (in vmware).

What is your USB controller type? UHCI, OHCI or EHCI?
Can you send us the dmesg output once the ISO has booted?
