USB won't work for that purpose. It requires far too much kernel support to be useful after a panic. The same goes for ethernet. There exists support for debugging over firewire - see dcons(4), and over old-fashioned serial ports. If you don't have either of those you are probably out of luck as far as remote debugging is concerned. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1...@student.uu.se _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
