 Well you disabled the ISO 9660 fs which explains your Problem#1 and the
ed(4) device which explains your Problem#2.

 And btw, these days there's usually not much point in removing usused
drivers from your kernel, it won't boot noticeably faster and the amount
of ram/diskspace saved is only relevant in (some) embedded setups.  So all
that's left is another opportunity to shoot yourself in the foot... :)
