I could imagine some > people (think of colocated servers) would not like that. The original idea behind this patch was to make the loader panic act like the kernel panic does (not identically, but in the same fashion). As the kernel panic will reboot automatically after a timeout, so should the loader panic. When I saw your comment I instantly felt like an idiot. ;P The patch hidden behind the link below will make the panic pause for 10 seconds before rebooting automatically, unless a key is pressed on the console, at which point it will wait indefinately. It uses the same countdown algorithm as the autoboot code. http://www.haikugeek.com/freebsd/panic.diff (sorry about the URL, my mailer eats diffs) Daniel (dcs), please review and commit.
