Hello,
how do I boot Solaris 10 with the kernel debugger enabled. So that when
a panic occurs that I can look at the state of the kernel interactively?
I did it ages ago but I forgot howto obtain it.

If you're using x86 then add -k to the boot arguments. If you're using
SPARC then "boot kmdb" or "boot -k".

Cheers,
