  I have recently installed 386bsd on a 486-33 computer with the /usr directory
  NFS mounted onto a SUN. It I attempt to copy some large files from /usr ( on
  the sun's drive) to /tmp (on the local drive), the transfer rate appears to
  be very slow. Finally a message appears on the console which says "mb_map
  full". Then the system continues for a little while before I get a kmem_malloc
  error message.

  Anybody got a solution to this one??

    Thanks in advance,

       Tony.
