I'm a little confused.  All I wanted to do was increase the number of process
table entries on my system.  This is what I did:

# vi /etc/master.d/kernel
 [change NPROC to 500 -- system admin guide said this was the max]
 [change MAXUP to 50 -- no max listed in system admin guide]

# cd /boot
# mkboot -k KERNEL
# cd /
# cp unix ounix
# shutdown -i5 -g0 -y
 [system goes down to firmware, boot switch is off]

> boot
enter path: /etc/system
 [system goes to single-user]

# init 2
 [system goes to run level 2]
 [log in as root]

# mkboot -o /unix
mkunix: Warning -- boot program "/boot/KERNEL" timestamp= Wed Feb  8 18:27:05

mkunix:            input file   "/boot/KERNEL" timestamp= Wed Feb  8 21:57:52

mkunix:            *** Results are unpredictable! ***
Using /boot/KERNEL for input file
Read 1791 symbols from /boot/KERNEL
918 symbols added

What did I do wrong?  What does this message mean?  Sure 'nuff, when I tried
to boot from /unix, strange things happened (the WIN/3B 1.1 driver wouldn't
initialize -- I got "/dev/Sh -- not owner").  When I boot with /ounix, things
work fine.

Thanks in advance,

Tim
