Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Morning... I haven't enabled DDB in my kernel yet, but am curious... I have a server setup with 3.0-current and the CAM drivers that is periodically hanging on me (usually after a day or so of uptime)...that in itself is annoying, but more annoying is that i have no way to resetting that server, as it is 2500km away. I do have a serial console configured on it, so that I can do work, but I'm curious as to how I can break into DDB using the serial console, without my home machine breaking into it also? On our Sparc servers at work, you issue a ~# from a serial console to break down into the boot prom...do we have something similar we can do? Marc G.
