Yes, Xenix is distributed with NMOUNT set to 4.  You can easily change this
and make a new kernel.  If you are running Xenix on an 80286 and have a
version older than SCO 2.2, be careful.  Data space in the kernel is
limited to 64k, and if you start increasing limits willy-nilly you will
quickly blow the limit.  If you haven't increased any of the other tunable
parameters, you can increase this to 7 or 8 mounts with room to spare.
