Again, your best bet is to look at how the QUOTA stuff works; it reads and
writes to the quota files.
Heres the problem though;
If you compile your kernel in, the root filesystem isn't mounted until
after your drivers probe/attach routines have been called.
It would be better if you made your firmware a KLD so that it can be
loaded by the loader or demand loaded by the kernel linker when your
driver is loaded.
