Thanks,

 Looks like that did some good (I have my console back now), but when i
either "boot -g" or break into ddb and give it a "gdb" command, then try
and connect gdb to it on the other serial port, gdb seems to not be able
to connect to it (and I consequently have to power cycle the machine to
un-hang it). What I get from gdb is the following:

bash-2.05b$ sudo gdb -k kernel.debug

thanks for the help,
