Run with a serial console to set up a remote gdbserver/kdb session, then pull up the serial lines to a node on your network to act as a serial console server. There are concentrator serial link cards which can handle powers of 2 lines (8, 16, 32?...) allowing you remote console access to banks of servers & a normal kernel debugging scenario. -dhc _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-smp To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
