First go into crash and type "panic". The messages will be printed. The second way is to create a character special file for the "osm" driver (make sure it's configured into your kernel and check the major number by looking in /etc/conf/systems and /etc/conf/modules/osm/config. Then you can use cat or tail to look at the messages (cat /dev/osm). John Fenk Intel Corporation tektronix!ogcvax!littlei!osdtm1!fenk
