| >Fix:
| There are several suggestions in source-changes-d thread:
|
| - add an option to sysctl(8) to ignore error
| http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/source-changes-d/2009/03/29/msg000144.html
|
| - introduce a new syntax for sysctl(8) to see if the specified node is
vaild
| http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes-d/2009/03/29/msg000148.html
|
| But for 5.0 release, we might need simpler workaround.
| (adding a dummy ddb.onpanic stub for !DDB case in some source?)
|
It is simpler and adds consistency to add ddb to the sparc kernel.
that's not enough. there are a bunch of ports that don't have
DDB enabled by default. and i don't see why they should be
forced to... make the sysctl.conf handling smarter.
