Ah good idea, and this distro already has that, but it isn't enabled by
default.  I see how to configure it and turn it on.  Will a logger
message for "kern" test it, or is there some other way to force a
printk? I'm afraid the logger method might look like it is working, but
just go through the usual syslog channels instead of netconsole.

Thanks,
