  You also need to apply a separate patch to undo a patch that wasn't
supposed to be applied for 1.3.1 [source/pmax-rtc.diff.gz] (or possibly
use the original 1.3 version of pmax/tc/mcclock_ioasic.c).  This should
be fixed in 1.3.2.

  Either build a kernel without DDB, or modify the serial driver to not
call Debugger() on a break.  [Perhaps this should be controlled by sysctl?
I had the same thing happen to me today as well.]

  Because the bootblock loader only understands the a.out format.
