The Xkernel-root.tar.gz distribution (from
ftp.netbsd.org/.../arch/sun/...) does not really have anything more than
is necessary for a diskless boot into the X server. Which is normally
pretty good because I don't want to waste any byte of the precious 4M
present in the pizza box. So even if there were a ktrace program, I
suspect ktrace support to be absent.

I just now tried a downloaded snapshot kernel (DISKLESS), which is a
whole 100K bigger than XKERNEL, but it refuses to run init. Maybe
because it is a shell script, or because it does not like the old
/bin/sh (signal 0, exit 2). So now I'm downloading more stuff. But then
it won't like the old Xsun either and I have not spotted a new one yet.
