First login as root and cd to /etc/conf/bin.  Then type:

idtune ULIMIT xxxxx

where xxxx is the desired ulimit.  Each 'ulimit' is 512 bytes of disk space.
Then type idbuild and reboot.  The ULIMIT parameter in /etc/default/login
only changes the default at login and not the system ulimit.  You must use
idtune and rebuild to change the system limit.
Also you must use all caps for ULIMIT or the kernel will not compile.
