I'm messing with a utility for performing network crash dumps: <http://www.cs.duke.edu/~anderson/freebsd/netdump/>; and have currently applied his instructions (with some mods) to FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. I have two questions: - To test the functionability, I need to invoke a panic. I've attempted to call 'panic' with a DDB-enabled kernel, but his client code doesn't seem to get triggered. Recent feedback from the author: I seem to remember calling "panic" from ddb actually does something strange. Try "call boot(1)" or "call boot" instead. Does anyone have a grasp on an alternate way of panicing a 4.7-R kernel? - If I can get this to fly, does anyone know in advance if his client code will apply to FBSD 5.x? It wouldn't take me long to find out hte hard way, but I figured I'd ask. Thanks for any advice... -- Brian 'you Bastard' Reichert <reichert@numachi.com> 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA BSD admin/developer at large
