I installed NetBSD 0.9 about a month ago, and have been
getting crashes every 1 or 2 days.  Using the patch kit, I saw
crashes every few weeks.  

I haven't been able to see any pattern yet.  What happens is
the computer hangs, with the HD access LED on.  

How can I track this down?  Is there anyway to pop into a kernel
debugger, or take a dump?
