The traditional way to handle this was to switch to a serial console (using a com port) - but these days those things are very rare, so that option is mostly no longer available. Without that, all that you can get is what you can see on the screen.One thing we could do is to enable 'options DDB_COMMANDONENTER="bt"' in the INSTALL and GENERIC kernels.
Of course you'd still need to manually transcribe the console display, or take a pic for screen capture. +------------------+--------------------------+-------------------------+ | Paul Goyette | PGP Key fingerprint: | E-mail addresses: | | (Retired) | FA29 0E3B 35AF E8AE 6651 | paul at whooppee.com | | Kernel Developer | 0786 F758 55DE 53BA 7731 | pgoyette at netbsd.org | +------------------+--------------------------+-------------------------+
