HI,

 I'd recomend you to read the section about the kernel on the HandBook 
of FreeBSD on
  Http://www.freebsd.rog

 It's explained there how to compile your kernel (i used it and didn't 
have problems ! :)). Also if there's no reference on it, on the KERNEL 
file, the line

  options QUOTA

  will make your kernel kork with quota. Also, you must habilitate it on 
/etc/sysconfig. I didn't manage how to configure the system to put the 
quotas on, but I'm working on it.
