X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 22:46:56 -0000 kbdmux does not currently support ddb and mountroot in both -current and 6-stable. This means that if you get a panic, no backtrace or other interaction is possible. Also, if your /etc/fstab is wrong, no way to specify an alternate root. Are there any plans to improve this? What needs to be completed to get back to previous support for these features? Thanks, -- Nate
