Ah.  Are the inode limits set super low only on certain versions of the
OSRCD?  I just checked a box I restored with the latest ISO from
ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/iso/ (960-RAQ40101BU.iso.gz) dated 3/13/2002
and it doesn't have any inode issues.  I don't do many OS restores so
perhaps I used an old ISO and that's why there weren't any problems?  Is
there a better download location?  I didn't check my notes, just went there
first off from memory.  I did have to install every single PKG listed on the
Sun site (20ish packages, 220 MB or so IIRC).

Gerald, I know you have done a lot of good work customizing the OSRCD so if
necessary I'll contact you off-list and arrange for a disk, but I'd like to
get a handle on this perplexing issue.  67,456 files is a drop in the
bucket.  It's the kind of problem I'd suspect others would run into, bigger
than a small physical / partition.
