>file that I created.  Why is INET a required option?

Because most people need it.

Comments on other options in your config file:

>options		"COMPAT_43"		#Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!]

Might not be necessary for testing.

>options		BOUNCE_BUFFERS		#include support for DMA bounce buffers

Not necessary with bt0.

>options		DDB
>options		DIAGNOSTIC
>options		SCSIDEBUG
>options		DEBUG
>options		SCSI_REPORT_GEOMETRY

Not minimal :-).
