How to debug storage filter drivers???

Since they load before everything (before SoftICE and I don’t know about
WinDBG) I can’t debug my filter driver.

WinDbg can be used to debug any driver I have encountered, to include
SCSIPORT/miniports. If not EVERYTHING, I’m sure KD covers what WinDbg
doesn’t.

Windbg has no dependency on drivers (other than hal and ntoskrnl.) We use it
for debugging the storage stack all the time. When I get a system into the
hosed state you are in I generally iterate through the driver
debug/repair/compile/re-install cycle until the system boots. Recovery
console is ok, but it is much easier to have an alternate boot image to
switch to.

Trivial (same as non-boot drivers) in WinDbg.
Requires additional efforts in SI.
