It says that in the section about remote debugging using gdb.  Should I be
able to boot a kernel that is config -g'd with options DDB and not
stripped?  Actually I'm not really trying to do remote kernel debugging
with gdb. 

I was thinking that I would want to config -g to make a more interesting
dump when I call panic from in ddb, allowing me to do some poking later
with KGDB.

How does BRUCE do it??? :)
