Hi there!

I am currently playing around with analyzing crash dumps on FreeBSD.
Are there any ways to crash the system to get a dump? For example,
on Solaris it's easy to change the Inode-Number of the root-filesystem,
so it crashes the next time it tries to access "/" - but can i do the
same on FBSD?

Or can i force the system to write the current memory content to the
dump-device without crashing the whole system?

Thanks, Egon
