you can interact with the debugger either by pressing ESC at any time 
(requiring fiasco to be started with the -serial_esc option!).
If you want to invoke the debugger at any point in your code you can 
also use the

enter_kdebug("Message");

function. It is defined in l4/sys/kdebug.h. Just include this header 
and put enter_kdebug in your code when you wish to go into the debugger.
