I was under impression that the console/kernel debugger was not shipped in the
General Availability product.  I may be wrong.

Well, maint invokes ldminit, so it must be somewhere there.  Unless 386 maint
has gotten changed to use "newkernel" only -- I have been trying to stay away
from installation as far as I can,

I am reasonably sure that the key mappings are in the data section.  Take a
look at os.config on izar or electra, for instance.

In Gen2 as well?!?!

A stroke of executive genius, to be sure.  I assume, though, physpatch is
available?  If not, someone out there can make some money writing a binary
symbolic editor for AIX.
