OK, I had read the kernel config part of the manual before, but I
re-read it to refresh my memory.
I'm currently running a custom kernel, with just the cpu specified and
maxusers = 0

I edited a new copy of that, took out quite a bit more that I don't need
- raid, scsi, wi-fi, pcmcia, etc.
I did:
# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
# /usr/sbin/config CUSTOM1
# cd ../../compile/CUSTOM1
# make clean
# make depend
# make

FAILURE!

Last line of output:
Umass.o(.text+0x1c13): more undefined references to 'xpt_done' follow

*** Error Code 1
Stop in /usr/src/sys/compile/CUSTOM1


Assuming that the error is in my editing of the kernel config file, I
have added it below.
Any advice would be appreciated!
