Have you tried remote gdb kernel debugging yet? It's documented in the
handbook also. I found it to be very easy to do and *much* better than
debugging on the same machine. All you need is a serial cable and a spare
FreeBSD machine. I used it to debug a module, but it would work just as
well on the kernel itself.
