Due to an issue I'm having with 7.x, and trying to track it down, I spent tonight getting my server setup to allow my to break into the debugger when it hangs, and hopefully dump core ... But, although I *think* I've got it all, I'm obviously missing something, as it isn't breaking ... First ... I'm running a proliant server, and when I connect via SSH to ILO on that machine, and type 'vsp', I get a shell as I expect, I can type, etc ... when I reboot the machine, I get the opening splash screen with the 7(?) options (normal boot, single user mode, etc, etc) ... but I get nothing between that and the login prompt ... first sign of a problem, maybe? Next, the easy question ... what is the key stroke to issue when one has ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER is set in the kernel? I thought it was CR ~ ^b ... is that correct? I'm using putty to connect via ssh, if that makes a difference ... I've also tried using the browser interface into ilo / vsp, same lack of a result ... Beyond adding sio device driver to my kernel, I've also got: options ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER options KDB options DDB Missing a kernel option maybe? I have the following in /boot/loader.conf: comconsole_speed="9600" console="vidconsole,comconsole" # A comma separated list of console(s) boot_multicons="-D" # -D: Use multiple consoles boot_serial="-h" # -h: Use serial console So ... eithe rI don't have it enabled like I think, or I'm doing the wrong key stroke ... or ...
