	Hi Attilio,

	Any pointers on how to achieve that on a machine with no serial ports ?
	I've checked out:
	http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-online-gdb.html
	and
	http://wiki.freebsd.org/DebugWithDcons (there is a recognized firewire port)

	I don't otherwise see how to get a core to disk halfway through the boot
	process.

	Cheers,
	Phil
