SoftICE crashing on Windows 2003

I'm not used to the build-in debugger of Windows or to LiveKD. But as far as I understood it, you must configure the debugger in the "boot.ini". After that, Windows waits in an infinite loop until somebody attaches to the build-in debugger over a COM port or over Firewire.

But I don't have any serial or 1394 cable available to try this and I also currently don't have a second PC available.

Can you tell me how I should use LiveKD to debug the SoftICE hooking engine?
