Hi,

I've been trying to access the kernel debugger to solve a boot freeze,
but I can't seem to find out how to do it.

This article indicates F12 as the magic key:
  http://www.haiku-os.org/documents/dev/welcome_to_kernel_debugging_land

The comments update and say to use Alt+SysRq+d (maybe the article
should be updated too?).

Anyway, it doesn't seem to work (neither on a hanged system, nor on a
working system).

Possible causes:
a) Virtualbox doesn't send to SysRq key. Has anyone else been affected by this?

b) kernel debugger is not compiled in (I'm using the latest head and
from what I understand from build/jam/HaikuImage it's being built in,
but I may be missing something)

c) I'm doing something wrong.
