I followed the thread about changing the kernel parameter 'nbuf' with some interest, and probably incomplete understanding. I decided to alter the number of buffers just to see what sort of difference it would make. I used the bsd() sdmach nbuf=NNN command, rather than hack the kernel. I understood that the command above would have to be re-entered at every reboot, while the purpose of the hack was to make the change permanent. However, I rebooted the machine to undo the change in nbuf and to my suprise it came back up with the altered number of buffers. I mention this 1) to find out more about this behavior, and 2) to say that doing it this way seems a lot easier than hacking the kernel. Any comments, info? Thank you very much and have a good day. jake@skatter.usask.ca
