Is the kernel smart enough to know if there is enough memory available if you 
allocate too many nmbclusters? For example, if you have a disk with a kernel 
compiled with 25000 clusters and you pop it on a machine with only 64M, will 
it crash and burn? Also are clusters allocated out of the VM_KMEM_SIZE or out 
of remaining memory?
