I just changed the buffers in the ROM monitor using the following procedure, and
now I get "WorkSpace Manager error" when I log on as root. I get logged out.
I CAN log onto my account. Here's what I did:

localhost> shutdown now

# sync
# sync
# halt

ROM>p

then I changed buffer to sd- nbu=64, and pressed return on all other questions.
BUT when I tried to log on as root, I couldn't. I DO have the corrct password.

I see that the buffer is indeed set to 64 on boot. I tried undoing this with 
same procedure, and the buffer was back to default. No go. I tried sd- nbuf=64
with same result.

Any suggestions? I'm on an NS Turbo with 3.0 built (not with Upgrade.app).
