What problem would that be? The JV debugger is special... not subject to
the laws of the normal debugger since it exists as part of an emulator.
You should be able to set breakpoints anywhere, including in ROM.

You lost me... not hard I guess since what you're talking about is a bit
outside my ken.

Why not just debug it running from RAM?  Once the system is up and
running completely from RAM, you install your utility, set your
breakpoint and see where you end up, 

That's stage one, get it working. I'd worry about the mechanics of
including it in the ROM image as a second step.
