I'm not sure if the nm /kernel will work since I need to boot with /kernel.old as the /kernel with ptys at 256 would panic the kernel right after it does the probe on npx0. It will just reboot over and over again. This only happens on two 2.1.6R machines but the same config kernel works fine on other machines running 2.1.6R and -current.
