OK, folks - I've looked in the Handbook, and I've looked in _The Complete FreeBSD_ and I just get more confused. Is the option DDB gone? If so, how do you get ddb functions like db_readline into the kernel? _The Complete FreeBSD_ still describes it, but the handbook doesn't mention it, and a "grep -i ddb *" in the conf directory comes up empty. The handbook still talkes about "makeoptions DEBUG=-g", but there's no such thing in NOTES or any other file in the conf directory. I'm going to try putting in the "makeoptions DEBUG=-g", though it may do nothing. The NOTES file also includes a somewhat cryptic remark about the intel acpi code: ... (Note that the Intel code must also have USE_DEBUGGER # defined when it is built). I tried making that a kernel option, but config says it is not defined. Well - it didn't choke on "option DDB," so maybe that still works, even though it's not in the handbook or in the NOTES file... -- John Lind john@starfire.MN.ORG
