Hi,

I'm wondering if there's any way to get a coredump on a machine that's
panicing while probing ata-attached drives.  I'd like to help someone fix
whatever this remaining ata bug is in 4.6 and -stable, but I'm stumped on
how to do this.  I can break into the debugger, but my only option there
to write a core is to "panic" again, but since there's no dump device
configured yet...  chicken and egg...

Is this at all possible?  I couldn't find anything in the DDB manpage, nor
in a quick google search.

Thanks,

CS
