OK, for the record: Sending a SIGABRT to init _does_ induce a panic, but the panic message only appears on the console. If X is running, video modes don't change. I don't know if that's desirable, but that's not important right now. And, also for the record, the netdump utility: Does _not_ work out-of-the box for FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. The kernel module, though loaded, does not seem to get invoked during a panic. If I can coax that into working, I'll let people know, but I wanted to get the current status of my efforts into the archives.
