I'd say, rather, DDB_ONPANIC=0 in the kernel config and then ddb.onpanic=1 during boot. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTMLmo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B

Not without modifications. You could include the nullcons (i.e. boot without console) and detect the situation and reboot later in an rc script.
panic options
Is there any way to get panic(9) to behave differently in some places than others? There is a call to panic() if the kernel detects that there is no console device found, I would like to make this call to it just reboot without dropping into ddb. The amdgpu driver fails to initialize about 9 times in 10 for me so would like to reduce the amount of typing needed.
