The boot parameter of >"-nbu=128" was being ignored, and the default 16 buffers were used. Guess 1: You need a blank between the "-" and the "nbu=128". Guess 2: Use the "p" command in the ROM monitor to look at your settings. If they are all wrong, try using the "p" command to change one of them. Now use "p" to list them again. If the change was ignored, then cycle the power. Are the settings now all correct? -- This space is not blank!
