ctrl-a is also used in screen as the default escape, so I vote for getting rid of ctrl-a as the kdb break sequence... Under Solaris, you hit Stop-A on a keyboard or send a break signal on a serial line to break into the debugger (if it is on, normally this would bring you to the prom). I have been meaning to implement the same thing on the sparc64 port. what is the problem with using the serial break to get into kdb? -tduffy -- Thomas Duffy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
