Intended for unattended operation # where you may want to enter the debugger from the console, but still want # the machine to recover from a panic. # options KDB_UNATTENDED # Options for serial drivers that support consoles: options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER # A BREAK/DBG on the console goes to # ddb, if available. # Solaris implements a new BREAK which is initiated by a character # sequence CR ~ ^b which is similar to a familiar pattern used on # Sun servers by the Remote Console. There are FreeBSD extensions: # CR ~ ^p requests force panic and CR ~ ^r requests a clean reboot. options ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
