Wouldn't it be nice if we could define a line printer as secondary console? (Those of you still remembering the old teletype terminals know what i mean.) Then one could simply attach an old spare dot-matrix printer to a free parallel port and have an instant hardcopy of any oopsen that might occur...
I and a few others back at Rutgers actually rigged up a real, still working, Dec teletype as the console of a Solaris system to record a recursive mutex panic and make a point to the Sun support people we were dealing with at the time. They got our point and stopped giving us the runaround.
