Can a kernel PANIC be copy&pasted?

Since some versions I get on my bare metal machine a Kernel PANIC every time I boot. I can just enter “exit” in the debug shell (don’t know really what this is and how can I use this) and Haiku runs OK for me.

But can I copy the message which appeared on screen?

If “exit” works, all the things that are printed on screen in KDL are also saved to the syslog after you exit. So, you can get it from there.

If “exit” does not work (which is usually the case), then your only way is to take a picture of it as you did. Unless your computer has a serial port (somewhat unlikely nowadays), in which case it can also be accessed this way.
