They didn't for me.  I got everything set up to the point where nothing was
giving any errors.  Redid the kernel from scratch, uncommented the lines
from /etc/rc, added the stuff to /etc/fstab, and then chose a poor unsuspecting
user and gave him a pitifully low quota on the usr partition.  su'd to him and
copied the kernel into his directory.  Nada.  No warning, errors, nothing.

I gave up.  I was only messing around, I don't really need quotas.
