ssh access would probably not be enough, apart from the dbri driver
test. If the kernel has a major problem, the ssh session usually hangs as
well. But with a console a on a serial line I can use the magic sysrq
keys to get important data. The serial line would be connected to a
machine close by.
Physical access would only be needed for a power cycle, e.g. if an SMP
kernel fails to boot at all.
