I quickly discovered that SchilliX-0.7.1 adds the `-vk' option by
default.  So, it's already there.  Typing F1-a after it hung had no
effect.  Even when I booted with `-vkd', and then entered `:c' at the
kmdb prompt, it still hung at the same place.  I suppose I need to set
some earlier breakpoints, but I don't know what they should be.

By the way, I'm booting it from an external USB DVD drive.  This
laptop doesn't have an internal optical drive.  The USB driver
may be involved in the hang as well.

I have the same problem with OS 134 booting from USB a flash stick.
