Hence the need to compile your own kernel. Refer to /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES 
for details on _why_ you may or may not want to use this. Refer to the 
handbook for information on how to compile your own kernel (it's easy).

I don't know how to interpret that warning. I won't have more than 1 million 
files on the fat32 fs. But I will wan't to write to it. Is it not possible to 
write to it?
   
  Thank you for your help

What's the problem? Just recompile your kernel and use your USB drive. 
It's possible to write to it.
This warning just notifies you that it could be stability issues if 
there will be many files.
