Kernel Config Problem

I was having problems for a long time receiving errors that UMASS was undefined so I comment-out umass. The next round I got a bunch of IEEE errors than I founded a thread here that said wlan was needed. So I added them. Now I got my custom kernel installed and the only thing not working is my USB Flash Drive. I can-not do mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /b anymore. I get No such file or directory. I attached my configuration file. I am using a very old Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop. It has one usb port and a 14k built-in modem and it has no port for a DSL modem cable. I want to use the modem to make connection to Internet for a while. I would appreciate if someone would take a look at my file and add or delete what is needed and what is not ... but I'll be just as happy to get just the flash drive working . It's pretty small, based on an example founded here.

Thanks in advance

# SCSI peripherals
device scbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI)
device da # Direct Access (disks)
#device cd # CD
#device pass # Passthrough device (direct SCSI access)


# USB support
device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da

I keep getting config:BABY_BSD:46: syntax error and when I comment-out (device da) it's ready to compile but that may have been my problem all day because it do say Requires scbus and da. So I must be missing something else.

I didn't know until a few hours ago I should gave attached my dmesg.boot

I just got through compiling my BABY_BSD: If I boot up machine with flash drive already plugged in, after logging-in I un-plug flash drive, I get:
Code: 
umass0:at uhub0 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected

If I boot up machine with-out flash drive plugged in, after log-in I plug it into the port and now I get:

Also after each boot /var/run/dmesg.boot attach new copy of record to file creating a big file unlike before when it replaced old copy.
 
FYI: This is *INSANE*

There is no way ... an hour ago it came to me. Something said type:
Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop "SCSI"
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...nspiron+7500+laptop+"SCSI"&btnG=Google+Search
Click to expand...

How lucky and unlucky can one be. BSD love at the top of the list. My machine must be sooo old, I darn near comment-out ever thing in the entire file. T h e n 7.2 could never find
unknown option "PNPBIOS" but it was not even in the list.

I even went down to 6.4 for a ½ a day. No way I'll play with 4.4. I Give Up... I going to buy a modern computer qualified/dedicated to run 8.2 + with-in the next few days, boot-camp is over ...

Until then :)

Thanks All from day1
 
I think I just posted in the wrong place. Anyway I did make custom kernel. It'll be easier just to add usb auto mount. I'll try it. Good ID Nokobon
 
Yes SirDice, I caught that ...[font="Arial Narrow"]After a full week of trial and error I finally got it, but still not sure point of problem. I tried hard but got lost, but now I got flash. All those days and all that time I read all kind of docs. They not as hard to understand anymore. I pick-up some extra options along the way but I did not compile them in. I just want to ask; for now, all I want to use FreeBSD for is a dedicated web server running lighty and must be fast and secure and writing programs to speed up some processes. It will be serving up pages that use pleanty of ajax which will make things harder to secure I guest. I relax with standard web programming, FreeBSD, C, PHP and the rest is kind of new to me. Anyway, for now when someone get time could you look at my file below and comment out stuff that you think I don't need for my situation and place any new options in it's proper place. Like everyone here, speed and MAX security is all I seek and knowing BSD like the back of my hand. It's not bad once you get use to it. The problem is needing to know where everything is and what most of it does. I give myself a full year. Waking up every three hours to new errors all week and re-reading docs in my dreams felt like an entire month went by.[/font]

Thanks

Why do you have 2 firewalls in your config? Pick one and stick to it.
 
So everything must be in-order and it is very small. Would you have a recommendation of which firewall is best suited for a dedicated web server as I described. It would help to know this, especially coming from an experienced person.
 
Can't really recommend one or the other as they're all good.
Pick one, stick with it, play with it, if you don't like it try another one :e

My personal preference is PF though.
 
[font="Arial Narrow"]I still can't believe I'm working on a true low-level OS. It's took 20 years of wondering about it, but it took this new forum and some guts to make the move.

I get it now. Some things must be done individually thru trial and error to find solutions based on your own IP-Config-Hardware-etc... OK :) Never knew it was there but I just clicked the Thank You-Button in-advance and if it fail, Thank You always, anyway, regardless.[/font]

Time to go to work! :)
