Hmm. Idea...

Before the "grand NMBCLUSTERS reorg", the default number of clusters was 
256 (or 512 if GATEWAY).  Now, it's 512 + 16 * MAXUSERS (ie: 672 in 
GENERIC and BOOTMFS).

How big is a cluster?  I'm not familiar with this area very well, but if 
it is dynamically allocated does the fixed size of the control structure 
(mb_map?) take up space?

If so, perhaps it might be an idea to put ``options "NMBCLUSTERS=256"'' 
into the generated BOOTMFS config file?

If course, I am not familiar with this area of the kernel, so I may be 
_way_ off course.. :-)   (How much of the VM system is configured 
before the lower 640K of ram is reclaimed?  Could this be a problem?)
