Loading symbols requires cooperation from the bootstrap loader. Sun's /boot
knows nothing about DDB. The bootblocks in -current do, but you'll need
a bit of courage to use them (i'm using them on my machine, but I've have not
yet heard of others). If your machine has a floppy, you can use that to load
the kernel. Diskless booting is currently not supported though.
