My box is an IBM laptop.  Specs are:
20MB of memory
810 MB IDE disk
2.88MB floppy
psm0 device (disabled/enabled it doesn't seem to make any difference)
sio 0 - 16450's
zp0 - 3C589C
lpt0 - Parallel printer

Pretty basic stuff here.  If I add 'DDB', the machine hangs forever.
However, the kernel without DDB simply reboots.
