The problem is how I can effectively dump a fatal trap during "normal"=20 operation. As far as I can understand reading 'src/sys/kern/subr_prf.c' (putchar),=20 trapframe is printed only on screen. If I need to write them down by hand, then I need to see them... Is it correct? On Friday 15 October 2004 19:51, marcio.mallavazzi@unibanco.com.br wrote: > No, it isn't a way to switch to text mode.
