Well, I can't  compile any kernels because I can't boot, and I doubt that I
could display any gray bars if I can't control the console.  How can I trace
into the boot code without affecting the environment.  Using the
debugger won't work.   Is this something  that MacsBugs can do for me.
I've never used MacsBugs, so any pointers would be helpful!
