after cvs update ~7/9 (and again an hour ago), booting my ultra 2
	stops at a --db_more-- prompt

	--db_more--

	if i hit space here, it loops printing tabs (or is it spaces) forever.
	is there a way around this, while (i'm guessing) debugger support is

That's a new one.  Hm.  I presume you have DDB enabled.
What happens if you type `q'?

What's probably happening is that there is a call to db_printf()
with a corrupt string.  db_printf() will attempt to print it and
generates a `--db_more--' when it thinks you're at the end of the
page.  It would be useful to know how you got there.

Is your kernel DEBUG or not?  If not, try compiling with DEBUG to
get some more boot diagnostics.

	being worked on?  tia.

No, the debugger should work.  But it appears you're not getting
far enough for the debugger to initialize.
