ROMWhack for NT, or the 3+n serial debug ports on IA-64? Watch,
they'll allocate the serial/debug ports for 1000BT....
Debugging in NT4 seems to elicit images of the carpetbombing of
Vietnam. (Sample count: 8 programmers) Perhaps NT5 debug will
elicit images like the deathstar run in Star Wars...er, centered on
the bug, not NT5.
