Quite a few kernel tables are sized based on 'maxusers' - in particular the coremap and swapmap tables (which track the fragments of memory and swap space) will be exhausted easily if you bring up a network'd kernel and start up the various daemons. > what and my PDP-11 is turned off at the monent.

It really doesn't - not having UMRs to deal with is a Nice Thing about the Qbus ;) The kernel (and the standalone utilities of course) need to know if they're on a U or Q-bus system but once a Q system is found then the UMR handling is bypassed.
