For those of you running the bleeding edge development kernels, I modified the /etc/rc.boot/ipmasq script (from Debian's ipmasq package) so it can be used with either ipfwadm or ipchains. You'll need to add variables "EXTERNAL" and "INTERNAL" to your configuration (/etc/ipmasq.conf). These vari

Sounds like you are trying to load the UMSDOS filesystem as a kernel module, but you didn't build and install the modules yet, or UMSDOS wasn't selected as a fileystem type in the config stage. Go through the kernel config ('make menuconfig' is a quick and easy text menu), go down to "Filesystems"
