Not good:

Some other commands had the same effect.
I can probably live with accessing the server ipmis solely from my laptop.
Out the bmc and sbms/ipmi drivers go.

I worked for QNX back in the early 2000's. At that time QNX had a fairly

details, but essentially it required a set of permanently reserved memory
