Thanks for getting back to me.  I set the values using the WebUI in
Systems/Kickstart/Profiles.  I don't kickstart systems often, so it's
hard to tell when they change.  I notice the changes when I attempt to
provision a VM.  From the Systems page, I select the host (it has a
Virtualization Platform entitlement) and go to
Virtualization/Provisioning.  From there, I see the list of profiles
available, and, if it has kicked in, I see all KS profile disk sizes
set to 3GB, with bridge vibr0.  That's before I start to provision.
That's when I have to go back into Systems/Kickstart/Profiles and
reset them back.
