I have two important questions:

1.  Exactly how does the "nbuf=xx" work?  I broke into the NMI, hit the MON,
typed "bsd nbuf=99" and the thing booted with 16 buffers and then failed.
I tried several different syntaxes, but to no avail.  What gives?


2. What is needed to make the CDROM boot in single-user mode?  Since my hard
drive went south, I need to boot from CDROM so that I can use the backups
which are on several ODs.  Do I need to somehow prepare a floppy kickstarter?
If so, how exactly do I do this?

Reply via email and I'll post a response.
