I finally succeeded in installing FreeBSD 6.2 on my HP i2000. The
installation took a long while since I am new to the IA64 architecture, and
EFI, but at last all is well. My questions now are,
1) Can I use ddb and kgdb to debug kernel code, as I have been able to do on
the x86 platform? Is that functionality expected to work on the IA64?
2) My machine has a single serial port, which is used by the console.
Therefore, I am assuming a need to add a PCI serial board to get a debug
port on both Itanium machines used for debugging. Is this assumption
correct?
3) Any other caveat, advise.. Before I purchase a second Itanium machine?
Any guidance would be very much appreciated,
Pierre.
