For what it's worth, DDB worked for me when I was debugging my swapper
"problem" just fine.  But the machine freezes solid with scsi enabled,
and now with no scsi, it's hanging solid when trying to net boot.  And
I can't break to DDB, either.  Observe...

And then nothing.  No network activity, machine locked solid.
Again, I know netbooting with port-arc WAS working on 1.5_ALPHA2.
What's the deal?  And do you think I'd have better luck working
my patches into 1.5 final?

It's extremely frustrating to find that after all my work the past couple
days, and now NetBSD is brain-damaged where it wasn't before.
