I had to do this on a 3B5 to make news more managable without root's
intervention and some crontab verbiosity.  If you have System V Release 2
and the source code, change the CDLIMIT define in param.h from 1L<<11 (the
1 meg limit) to 1L<<12 (2 meg; 13 = 4 meg... etc.); then recompile the kernel.
This should have been a tunable parameter, hacking it otherwise is ugly and
leaves a bad taste on my unix palate!

I'm not sure if this works with Release 3, we haven't gotten our 3B5 to
3B15 migration yet.
