It is not useful to set the NFSCLIENT variable to greater than 4 when
running a standard kernel. The constant "MAXCLIENTS" in sys/nfs/nfs_subr.c
limits the number of simultaneous NFS rpc operations. This is set to 4 in
the Athena kernel. Unless the kernel is changed (I think this constant
should be doubled), /etc/rc.conf should ignore the value of NFSCLIENT except
to compare it to "false".
