Setting those to "YES" instructs the loader to load the respectively
named modules. So this would only be necessary if you hadn't compiled
them into your kernel. (Which is the reason for those "already exists"
messages)

It doesn't even look like your usb drive is plugged in? Even if umass
hadn't accepted it, ugen should have had attached (outputting some
messages)

[assuming that umass hat attached to the usb drive]
There should be a new device node daX[sY] in /dev, which you should
mount.
mount -t msdos /dev/da0* /mnt/usb

* Can't remember whether one needed to specify a slice

First thing before issueing a winning command is to have it detected =)
