Hi Joshua,

There are a few kernel devices required for USB drives. 

device          umass         # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da
device          pass            # Passthrough device (direct SCSI access)
device          ehci             # usb2 'hi=speed' support
**
ehci is optional, otherwise you will get 12Mbps 'full speed' mode
