4.25 What is the maximum value of nbuf that I can specify on bootup?

I know the ROM monitor only allows twelve characters, but I use something like this:

(NeXT machines only) Enter the hardware monitor. Hit 'p' to adjust the configuration parameters. It will respond: Boot command: ? Enter sd- nbu=xxx, where xxx is a number less than 256.
