>Description:
Sectoin 11.2 "Debugging a Kernel Crash Dump with gdb" in the documentation suggests you use "gdb -k" which is an invalid gdb option in this version of FreeBSD.

The chapter title should be changed to "Debugging a Kernel Crash Dump with kgdb" and the commmand-line examples need to be changed to "kgdb" instead of "gdb -k".
