If configured to use a serial console (console="comconsole" in loader.conf),
you can enter the debugger with BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER in the kernel config by
sending a serial break. With my portmasters, I telnet to a TCP port to
connect to the serial console, so I send a telnet break, using ^]send break.
Have you ever had a problem with this warning: "(useful for remote
diagnostics, but also dangerous if you generate a spurious BREAK on the
serial port!)" in the handbook?
