NBUF and pstat

Currently, my kernel is built with NBUF being 0, meaning that 10% of
the free space at start-up is utilized for disk buffers. I want more.
The question is how many buffers are there???

I would guess, using pstat, that NBUF is actually set to 1551 since
that is the value that pstat returns for buffers.... Is this right?

(better to be safe...)
