You are completely right.
I was only wondering if I do not set the variable explicitly, the
default value would be 0 or 1.
Kind regards,
Frank

I am sorry, this confused me, and i didn't quite understand.
Just to be clear:
ddb.panic=0 will boot instead of dropping you into a ddb?
Or is it ddb.panic=1 the option that will make the system boot?
Please... are we not a wee bit lazy now... man sysctl.conf:
EXAMPLES
To turn on IP forwarding, one would use the following line:
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
To cause the kernel to reboot on a panic, instead of dropping into the
debugger, the following can be used:
ddb.panic=0

In /etc/sysctl.conf I see the following commented line:
#ddb.panic=0
and nothing else about ddb.panic is present there. With other words,
I guess: 'ddb.panic=0' is the default boot time setting and does not
have to be set explicitly.
I now suppose: on a kernel panic, this system will not drop into ddb
(kind-of waiting for someone to retrieve useful information about
the panic) and is most likely to reboot. Is that correct?
Exactly the opposite:
$ sysctl ddb.panic
ddb.panic=1
You need to uncomment that line in /etc/sysctl.conf.
Cheers,
