	OK... I tried the 'boot(0x100,0)' and it produced a dump
immediately.  This is what I got from gdb:

[3:6:306]root@repeat:/u/crash> gdb -k netbsd.13 netbsd.13.core

(no debugging symbols found)...

/u/crash/netbsd.13.core: Bad address.
(kgdb) bt
No stack.
(kgdb) 

	So... what do I need here?  A kernel with debugging?  Is there
something slightly wrong with dumping on a 4/260.  I have been able
to produce dumps that savecore recognises for awhile, but I've never
got gdb -k to recognise them.

Dave.
