Since /usr is mounted 'late' in the game, there should be no problems
doing this. Your kernel will need to have the usb device, one of ohci
and uhci, ehci, umass, scbus and da:
# USB support
device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface
device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface
device ehci # EHCI PCI->USB interface (USB 2.0)
device usb # USB Bus (required)
device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da
device scbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI)
device da # Direct Access (disks)
