 I booted the machine single-user, so the vx0 did not get brought up.  I
 did an ifconfig on it by hand.  It took the address.  Five seconds later I
 got a console message: 
 
 Out of mbuf clusters - increase maxusers!
 
 And the machine froze hard.
 
 I built a DDB kernel (GENERIC + options DDB) and brought it up single user
 again. I unplugged the 10baseT cable and then ifconfig'd the interface. No
 problem.  I fool around for a minute to make sure it's not going to blow
 up, and then plug the cable in. Instantly out of mbuf clusters again. 
 
 Can't get DDB to kick in via CTRL-ALT-ESC (is that still the way?) the box
 is hung.
 
 Rats!!!  Maybe I should just pull the 3C905 so we can keep testing it in
 another box, and I'll put this machine into production with the 3C509.
