Hello

I have several NetBSD/macppc and NetBSD/amd64 machines using serial consoles.
If I unplug the serial port, or if I power cycle the serial remote device, o
the NetBSD box will catch a BREAK on the console, and will drop in ddb. 

Anyone has a workaround for that? The ability to drop in ddb using a break
is really useful, but unplanned server downtime just because a serial cable
was unplugged is a shame.
