Acutally, it would help a **lot** if someone who has a Personal
Decstation already set up to boot locally, and with access to a second
machine on the same nework, could build a GENERIC test kernel,
netbooting it, and seeing
 what's happening here.

Add four debugging printfs to sys/arch/pmax/dev/dtop.c:dtopKBDGetc().
One right after the label "again:" and one inside the body of each of
the three nested ifs in dtopKBDGEtc().

Something like this.  Only be prepared for lots of output, or none
at all :).
