Hi,
I want to attach gdb to my FreeBSD kernel (6.2 RELEASE-p8) running on VMware.
My host OS is Ubuntu Linux 7.04.
I've created a virtual serial port, which terminates in a named pipe on my host OS.
What other steps do I need to take to be able to step through and debug my kernel?
Will gdb automatically find the source code if its copied to /usr/src on my host?
Thanks.
- Akshay
