My (I use it at work, I am not lucky enough to OWN one!) Sun UltraSparc has a feature that will arrest control from the OS by doing a Stop-A on the keyboard. Obviously PC keyboards ado not have a stop key, but is there anyway to emulate that behaviour without it being managed by the OS so that IF the OS fails us (WHEN it fails us...once every decade or so) that we can use that sequence? I have a gut feeling that "stop-a" is somehow embedded in the Sparc hardware...but I have to ask. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Short Colossians 3:23 ashort@concentric.net http://www.concentric.net/~ashort/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
