There are NFS issues with it set too low.  I don't recall if send error
55 is one of them.

I haven't tried it on Alpha, but i386 can't set BUFCACHE above 128M
(unless this has been fixed recently.)  The result is an unbootable
kernel.

With 1G of memory, try setting BUFCACHE to 20.  If it doesn't boot, try
it at 12.
