Prevent reboot-after-panic behavior?

2009-07-10 Thread jw
I'm trying to figure out a strange panic issue (see: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2009-July/201842.html). The problem is I generally need to run it overnight in order to reproduce it. By the time I get back to it, the machine has auto-rebooted, losing precious info in ttyv0
