Hi Folks,

I am running FreeBSD 2.1.0
I am having a few problems  with a kernel error message on bootup.

/kernel execve: failed to allocate string space

If I do a warm boot the problem seems to go away.  I've had a look 
through the LINT file but can't find any ref's to string space.

Is there some switch I can use to increase the available amount?

Robert
