xmon, BAT structure, etc.

xmon doesn't seem to exist in the linuxppc sources any more and I'm
having trouble getting the one from the linuxppc.org 2.1.24 sources to
compile with 2.2.0-pre5, which is the latest version I was able to pull
from vger's anonymous cvs before it started always refusing connections.
  Where can I get it, or something equivalent?  What's the best way to
debug the platform-specific code that's run shortly after the
bootloader?  

I'm working on getting linux up and running on a non-prep, non-pci VME
board with a 603e and having some trouble with it.  I've got the kernel
uncompressing down to where it should be, but it traps when it gets a
bit of the way in to init/main.c.  When I write the contents of the BAT
structure to dual port RAM on the VME bus, I get all zeros, leading me
to believe I'm not setting thins up correctly down in the
platform-specific sections.  

Thanks,

Frank
