You don't need gdb to make this work.  Just use a null modem cable and
tip or the rtty port.  If you do want to use gdb because you are doing
kgdb over serial, then you need to enter ddb and say 'gdb' and then do
the remote gdb thing.

However these days I tend to use firewire for my remote debugging
needs.
