Tyan k8sr lockups

[Gary Mu1der]

Sven,

Thanks for testing. It is not SMP causing the problem, as I can cause 
the hang with the GENERIC amd64 uniproccesor kernel as well.

Any idea how we can get more diagnostics on what in FreeBSD is causing 
the crash? I suppose I can truss the dd and copy the truss output off 
the remote terminal session after is hangs...

Is there a way to force a crash dump? I heard mention of a key combo on 
the console to force a crash dump, but I suspect the console keyboard is 
totally hung as well.

Does anyone have a doc on how to run the kernel under gdb or something 
and log what is happening to a serial console?
