Kool Aid Served Daily

This has been bugging me all morning:

[console] root@burr ( e2:64 ) > mdb -kw
Loading modules: [ unix genunix specfs dtrace cpu.AuthenticAMD.15 uppc pcplusmp scsi_vhci ufs mpt ip hook neti sctp arp usba qlc fctl nca lofs zfs random fcp nfs cpc ptm sppp ]
> nfs4_trigger_mount:b 
mdb: failed to add breakpoint: operation not supported by target
> :c
mdb: failed to continue target: operation not supported by target
> $q

The first thing I did was search on google and no luck on finding a solution. Other people had asked for help on it, but not directly. I decided to set the system to boot up in kmdb (see eeprom hosed on an x86) and no luck either.

Okay, my next step was to make sure that I was really, really dropping to the kernel. I was suspicious that I wasn't getting there since '$q' was not attempting to reboot the box. In this case, the escape character was: '^]'.

[console] root@burr ( e2:64 ) >   
telnet> send brk

And we have liftoff!
