How to break into ddb?

Stupid question: when I boot with serial console, I can use
a <break> to 
drop into DDB.

How would I do that when booting with graphical console? I
couldn't find it
in the FAQ.

You can use the "interrupt" or "programmer's
switch" button in the
machine for that.

The NMI aka "Programmers' Switch" will do that for
machines that have it.
Else, for post-Mac-II machines, cmd-<PowerOn> will do
the trick unless the
machine is way out into lala land.
