I sent NMI, but it printed out a stack trace plus a message "no dump
device" or something then rebooted. I tried -v on my old supermicro system,
on the console I saw message about sd## devices, then it hung. The console
still responded to keyboard, but just stayed that way forever.

What change is needed to drop into kmdb when the OS receives NMI?
