Hi. I am doing some kernel hacking on a remote freebsd machine. This machine has a serial console hooked up to another machine connected to the net. I use the serial console to debug with DDB. This setup works fine, but there are situations where my new kernel will crash before it's finished booting. If I 'panic' or otherwise reboot the machine from DDB, the same bad kernel will boot up. Is there a way to specify the kernel to use when booting from the serial console as you can with a boot option from the "real" console? Thanks, David P.S.: Please reply to this e-mail as well, since I'm not on the freebsd-questions mailing list.
