RE: What to do when panic?
I've never debugged FreeBSD, but now I've decided to help the testing process of FreeBSD 6. I installed it, and then I had a panic. I got a debugger prompt, but I don't know what to do with that. I don't know the debugger commands. Please let me know what should I do when I have an another panic. What should I type and what kind of information should I send as a PR. You should also have a look at http://www.lemis.com/grog/Papers/Debug-tutorial/tutorial.pdf. That's Greg Lehey's script of his excellent tutorial on kernel debugging.

Just one more question: if I have a crash dump should I provide the whole of it? Or is there any way to obtain the useful information? I have 512MB memory and my network interface causes panics thus it would be very-very hard to upload the whole dump to make it online.
