3This directory contains gdb macros for kernel debugging.  When you
4build a debug kernel, the target "gdbinit" in the kernel Makefile will
5create the correct .gdbinit files in the kernel build directory.  To
6perform kernel debugging, you would do:
7
8  # cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  (or name of kernel config)
9  # make gdbinit
10  # gdb kernel.debug
11  This GDB was configured as "i386-undermydesk-freebsd"...
12  Ready to go.  Enter 'tr' to connect to remote target
13  and 'getsyms' after connection to load kld symbols.
