It is a Compaq Proliant 3000, PIII-500, 256MB ECC SDRAM (though GENERIC only sees 16MB), onboard Symbios Logic 53C876, three 9.1GB UW-SCSI drives, six Intel EtherExpress PRO 100Bs, and one Dual Intel EtherExpress PRO 100B. Booting single-user, with no filesystems mounted other than the root (da0s1a) as read-only, I do the following: dd if=/dev/rda0s1a of=/dev/da1s1a I can either let the command complete, or hit Ctrl-C to abort it, either way I get the above-mentioned panic. I have attempted to set up a debugging kernel to get a core dump on this, but every time I try to bring the resultant dump into kgdb, it tells me "kernel symbol `IdlePTD' not found."
