Description Mark Miksis 2009-08-19 18:43:50 UTC

There has been at least one bug where a Fab4 would get stuck in the "connecting to mysb" spinny after startup.  On Fab4, this is less of an issue because you can access a console.  On baby (and sbc), it's more of a problem.

I suggest either:
- Enable ssh by default
- Provide either a timeout or remote keypress to exit the spinny so ssh can be turned on via the device menus

Mark: Pressing-long-hold Left should get you out of the spinney UNLESS the device is locked up.  At which point a power cycle is needed.

The root of the lock up needs to be addressed, instead of providing a 'way out' because the device maybe in some unstable state if you could break out.

When this happens, we need to know about it and get logs on what has caused the device to lock up.
