It would be nice to have a firmware setting to disable the boot up memory scan and save another 10 or 15 seconds.
I think you need to do:
rc_toggle_basic panic "this is my panic message..."
in order to force a core dump at the same moment. This is for strong hearts only !
"reboot -d" is the officially sanctioned way to do this, surely?
