I assume you mean in ddb(8).
I meant it should be noted here in this thread [:-)] for those readers
who might still be concerned about how they can get a PROM prompt from
their machine, though I suppose it might also be further documented in
the System Manager's Manual, however that seems to have rotted entirely
and unfortunately the NetBSD Guide is of very little use to non-i386
users too when it comes to operations and management of the platform
specific features of their systems.
