I know /proc/sys/sysrq makes SysRQ work if 1, not work if 0.
I suspect /proc/sys/stop-a makes Stop+A work if 1, not work if 0.
BTW, I just discovered that BREAK does not drop to PROM in SILO.
Maybe that should be suggested to the SILO developers. If they
are doing I/O via PROM code (I suspect likely) I'm surprised it
isn't automatically there. It should also accept a special boot
name "prom" to go to PROM as well. Then, maybe this can be
configured (I haven't looked).
I think our discussion regarding serial break is just how it
should behave. I think the consensus is that there is not
100% consensus on what it should do, but rather, it should be
configurable.
