Some apparently can stay alive after FreeBSD steals the serial port and jumps into protected mode. Most notice loader fiddling with the port registers and know to get out of the way. Try turning it off or setting it to "Boot Loader" or turn off "CR Redirection after POST". > telnet> send brk Cyclades? > KDB: enter: Line break on console > 3KtDhB:a s tpaicdk 1b1a0e00:0 Ah, interleaved output :-) > aitd l e _ p r o c ( ) a t i d l e _ p r o c + 0 x 1 1 3 The spaces here are what I'm guessing is the console redirection. > m???b > o|?|??f?tpie rat0f : n o p > dd > db> > db> > db > d > d > dd > db> > db > dd > db> > db > d > db> > dd > > ...and then it keeps spewing d's and db's and stuff at me at > whichever speed my serial can handle.
