I modified the syscons keymap so that ctrl-esc is the debug key, as ctrl-alt is a special key on Desktop. I'm running on a virtual machine (Parallels Desktop for Mac 4.0), but that should not make any difference, I say hopefully. sysctl -a was ok on 8.0-CURRENT here as of October 2009 on all my other VMs This bug breaks /etc/rc.d/initrandom as it uses sysctl -a to generate some entropy. >How-To-Repeat: sysctl -a >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
