I just changed the buffers in the ROM monitor using sd- nbu=64, and
return at all other questions. The procedure was:

I su'd to root, did a "shutdown now" command, 
2. I did:

# sync
# sync
# halt

3. t ROM prompt I did "p" and put in the sd- nbu=64
4. Did not change other params

When I logged in as root, I got "WorkSpace Manager error" I CAN log into my
account. 

I put the buffers back to default with no result - the boot process was fine,
but cannot log in as root.

I tried sd -nbuf=64 - again, worked fine, but cannot go into root.

I AM using the right password, and CAN su to root from my account.

Thanks for any help.
