[indiana-discuss] OpenSolaris installation: -kdv brought the installation to kmdb

[mary ding]

Jingci:

If you boot kmdb with the -d option, then you can do this:

This will cause the kernel debugger to load

	 Loading kmdb...

	 Welcome to kmdb
	 kmdb: unable to determine terminal type: assuming `vt100'
	 Loaded modules: [ unix krtld genunix ]
	 [0]>

At the prompt, enter "moddebug/W 0x80000000", <return> and then ":c",
<return> which will then print out each module as it's being loaded.
Hopefully it might give more data on why there is warning in iwk_init
