The current way the SIO is handled for the console is utterly gross. This was one of the things I was hoping someone else would get a chance to fix. :-( The boot flags work as follows: -d = stop in debugger debugger (gdb or ddb) at boot -g = debugger should talk GDB protocol ddb also has a new "gdb" command to toggle between ddb and gdb on the next exception So, if I forget to do anything special, I can ctl-alt-esc (if vty), break (if serial) to DDB on the system console, type gdb, continue, and break again. Paul p.s. if someone want's to work on serial console code, please DO.
