Okay, for my stupid question of the day ... we hooked a win laptop to
serial console, run crt on it, boot with boot.config option of -P and took
out keyboard.  serial console works fine, hit ctrl-alt-esc and I get the
Windows start menu coming up, not DDB debugger though ...

read man page for boot, figured that -D option would get me to serial
console/video, figured wrong ...

anyone can suggest either software to use on the laptop or how to get into
DDB through CRT?

Oh, thought about the BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER option, but can't find a way in
CRT to issue a break signal ...

Thanks ...
