Hey.
NetBSD actually crashed on me last night, after an uptime of nearly 55
days! Unfortunately the system did not come back up until I hit the reboot
button. Fair enough- I did not have ttyv0 around to see what was going on,
but is there a way to make NetBSD attempt to recover and reboot itself in
similar circumstances? Perhaps it was just severity of crash which
prevented it doing exactly that? Or perhaps NetBSD went into some kind of
maintenance mode.
(Showing remarkable lack of knowlege about UNIX in general here...)
Thanks.
Nick.
