[j-nsp] Force a reboot from the serial console?

[Harry Reynolds]

As FYI, the ability to enter db from console has been disabled in recent builds for security reasons. In effect this makes system debugger-on-break (hidden) configuration moot. There is a work around in the form of a panic package, which I assume is available externally given the info in below.

See pr 1352217 for added info/external content that was to be added to release notes.

Regards

set system debugger-on-break

Break would instruct CPU to start executing code where the debugger lives, and from debugger, insha'allah you could reboot the system.
