I was reading the comments on a slashdot article about moving kernel 
console to userland.  One thing that came up with Linux's sysrq support, 
documented at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key to see the 
abilities.  I'd never heard of this, and I doubt FreeBSD has anything 
similar, but have I just never heard of it?
