It should be nicer about failing, but it's not (obviously).  dt will not
run except on the ite console (adb keyboard/mac video)--it will not run
on the serial console.  Try running screen (add-on) or window (included)
for that functionality.

Ahem...  Could you send me at least the PC from this crash?  Ideally,
I'd like to see you run a more current kernel (and do a "trace" from the
debugger prompt and send me that output--or at least a few lines of it).
When I say a more current kernel, the GENERIC one from pub/cray on puma,
or pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k on ftp.netbsd.org is fine (they're the same
kernel--that from ftp.eskimo.com).

I suspect that this is for the same reason that you can't run vipw...
