Capturing dmesg upon system crash on 6.3

[Yehonatan Yossef]

I'm looking into the syslogd capabilities at the moment, it might be
enough.
I've tried following the serial console setup you've pointed, but when I
added the 'console="comconsole"' to loader.conf the OS hanged during
boot time, had to re-install the system.

I'm currently porting Mellanox ethernet driver, InfiniBand will be
probably next. Mail me outside this list if you're interested in
InfiniBand.
