This probably has been covered in the earlier thread on how to speed up
execution under 3.0 by booting (from the NeXT> prompt) with

   bsd sdmach nbuf=64

(instead of the default nbuf=16).  But how does one set the default?
I tried last night to set the configuration parameters (with NeXT>p)
I found nothing that referred to setting nbuf.  And, setting the boot
command to 'sd nbuf=64' (and variations) did nothing.  [It all had to be
set back to 'sd' to work again.]

Anybody know?
