Uh, is this with -current or with 1.0?

I am using a Type-5 keyboard with a hoary old wheezing IPC and have had no
trouble of this sort whatsoever under 1.0.

Speaking of hangs/wedges/crashes etc., I have found that using LBX can
reliably crash the machine almost all the time with the same problem as before;
i.e. it drops into the PROM with

	Watchdog reset
	Instruction Access Exception
	ok

Yesterday there was a new one, namely

	Watchdog reset
	Memory Address Alignment Error	(or somesuch)
	ok

I've now built a kernel with "options DDB" enabled (as well as - you guessed
it - "options UCONSOLE" bwah hah hah (-: ).

Before I go mucking about with it and checking out this new boot blocks
situation etc., however, a question - can DDB catch a Watchdog reset?!?

It's been a long while since I've seen one under SunOS, but in my recollection
they were usually caused by double bus errors (mostly due to flaky hardware;
e.g., I once had a Sun-3/160 that got a rash of 'em all of a sudden ... ).  I
thought those dropped you straight into the Boot PROM; i.e. I thought those
were caught "down there", kinda like a machine-level SIGKILL  :-)

In other words, is it worth my while to use a DDB-enabled kernel to try and
catch this kind of problem, if it results in being dropped into the PROM?

(I never remembered whether booting under "kadb" in SunOS would allow one to
 "catch" a "Watchdog reset", to be honest, but I would have doubted it.)
