We are running SCO xenix on a 386 machine. After changing the number of buffers (NBUF) and max. buffer heads (MAXBUF), relinking xenix, and running hdinstall, I can no longer boot from the new kernel. Upon boot, I get the message : bn void bn void bn void : . etc The s increase and the machine freezes around number 709. The strange thing is that I cannot boot from xenix.old anymore either!! Has anyone else seen this before or am I totally in the dark? (What does the error message mean?!!!) Is there some other parameter I need to change along with NBUF and MAXBUF? I am reducing the buffer pool size to free up user memory.
