Normally, to do this, you would run the firewall on a machine that has 
lights-out management features, through a serial console connected to, 
for example, a modem, or a terminal concentrator.

This is specific hardware made by some manufacturers for this purpose.

Hello,
  <br>
  <br>
I've got a NetBSD 2.0.2 firewall that recently dropped out

to the debugger (kernel page fault, code =0 ....)
  <br>
  <br>
As it's on a firewall, and I'm not at the site all the time,

I'd like it to reboot when that happens again.&nbsp; A quick

Any suggestions?&nbsp; I'm pulling it up to netbsd-2 at the

so I'll be building a new kernel, is this a kernel config
