Well there's not much to summarize, I had the following line in
'inetd.conf'
> ftp	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/sbin/ftpd -l   ftpd
> 
and it should have been
ftp 	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/sbin/ftpd	ftpd  -l
Thank-you to everyone that responded.  I still haven't fixed the second 
problem.  When I have time I will try to build the kernal again and post
the exact error messages and try to get help then.  For now, the system
is running fine with the old kernal.
