Yes, and it contained quite a bit of informaiton. But it does not seem to contain this error directly, nor any procedural information on how to alleviate the error. I also read here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-January/019150.html "the error message is incorrect." and "This value is loader tunable only." And here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/17/2004/11/3/255979 "Unfortunately the man page for tunining doesn't seem to have anything specifically about increasing the value of kern.ipc.maxpipekva". I have the box working as a dumb terminal, and I'm no longer able to SSH in. Apparently, I can set the values of the kernel parameters I need to change either at boot time, or in loader.conf. I will try that, once I attach a montitor and keys and figure out how to do it, along with which parameters I need to change, and what the values should be for my system. By the way: thank you for responding to me, and copying the list, as I thought was the best-practice protocol for the list; it seems to have become a forgotten art.
