System: NetBSD fartmangler.redback.com 1.4.2_ALPHA NetBSD 1.4.2_ALPHA (EQUITY) #2: Tue Feb 1 16:45:28 PST 2000 dogcow@fartmangler.redback.com:/amd/elvis/build/moofsrc/nb/syssrc/sys/arch/i386/compile/EQUITY i386


>Description:
	
Occasionally, nasty bugs pop up in RAIDframe such that after dropping
into the debugger, the kernel hangs in 'syncing disks'. It'd be quite
handy to know about `call cpu_reboot(104)` or 'call cpu_reboot(4)` in
the ddb manpage (or even have them as flags to reboot (e.g. `reboot
nosync,dump`).
>How-To-Repeat:
	
Watch RAIDframe panic. Try to figure out how to dump core. Not know the
magic of <sys/reboot.h>.
>Fix:
Patch ddb or ddb(4)
