No, there is no kernel debugger compiled in NetBSD/pmax, period.  Most
NetBSD ports have DDB kernel debugger compiled in, but PMAX does not.

It's technocally possible to have DDB because Mach/pmax does have it
and most of NetBSD DDB were (backwardly) ported from Mach MKs.  DDB
for NetBSD/pmax is archivable, but requires significant effort.

Is anyone out there already trying it?
