This reminded me of my own excursion into the debugger.  I was attempting 
to copy some files from one NetBSD volume to another NetBSD volume via 
the SCSI bus.  ( One of the ethernet cards is not yet recognized ).  

Anyway, I shut down both system and moved one system's hard drive to the 
other system ( making sure the SCSI ID's were different ).  I then booted 
the system with two drives.  It came up fine.  However, when I attempted 
to mount the other volume, I ended up in the debugger.  What I forgot to 
do, was change the /etc/fstab to add a different name for the mount point 
of the other drive.  

I guess when NetBSD tried to mount a new '/' partition on top of the 
existing '/' partition it crashed.  

This probably comes under the category "Don't do that." and it may not 
have ANYTHING to do with the other debugger problem, but I thought it 
might help someone.
