  Pat,
  I had terrible trouble with the debug kernel when I first tried to get
it to work.  My system would crash after about 30 seconds of use.  Just
getting it to boot was iffy.  I then started debugging with just printf
statements, using the original kernal, figuring that the debugging kernal
was buggy.
  Just last week, I realized that the debugging kernal is NOT necessary, as
there is a great debugger included in the c-set2 package that runs under
PM and will debug PM programs.  It's called IPMD.  I STILL do not know
what the purpose of the debugging kernal is, as IPMD works just fine without
it, and there is none of this async terminal/serial port stuff.
  The install documentation for workset/2 never mentions IPMD, just the debug
kernal, which leads you to believe that it is your only option.

  Good luck
