sigh... so thats the problem... shouldn't something like that be documented
(in the man pages)?
Thanks; I'll try to recompile a new kernel with higher
kern.mbuf.nmbclusters,
though that will be difficult as well; for one or another reason I seem
to be
having serious problems bootstrapping build on a 2.0BETA machine; kernel
compilation is OK (well, except for a warning for some % construct), but the
kernel invariably drops me into ddb. <sigh> Well perhaps I shouldn't have
been so adventurous and have waited for 2.0STABLE.
cheers,
Theo
