I have Bell Tech UNIX Sys V/386 R3.2 (same as AT&T)
running on a Bell Tech 386.
The machine is set up in a two-headed configuration
(Hercules and Bell Tech Blit) and runs Bell Tech X10R4
on the Blit.
This version of Bell Tech X is not supposed to support
hot-keying between the Hercules and the Blit and vice versa.

I mention all of the above because it may have something
to do with the following problem:

Whenever there's a kernel panic (which only happens when
I'm running X on the Blit), I hot-key back to the console
(vt00) on the Hercules.  Once I've done this, I see the
normal kdb display and command prompt, but the keyboard
isn't working.

I don't know whether the keyboard isn't working because
of the (illegal) way I got back to the Hercules or
because there's something wrong with kdb.

Can anyone vouch for kdb on AT&T Sys V/386 R3.2?

Is there some way to force entry into kdb from the keyboard,
so that I can see if kdb works when I'm on the Hercules to
begin with and X isn't running?

Thanks!
