Updating your sources and building *only* a new kernel without also
building world is never a good idea. Your kernel and world are most
likely out of sync right now, perhaps even critically so.
I just added an external USB/firewire drive myself, which is working
fine. The kernel options I added to support the device are:
device da
device ehci
device ohci
device pass
device ugen
device uhci
device umass
device usb
Hope this helps.
