ok I have got a bit further..

booting -g I can get the kernel to fall into the appropriate debugger
by hitting ctl-alt-esc on the keyboard.

if I have just done a 
"target remote /dev/cuaa1" then gdb can 
"kinda" make a connection..

it's hellishly slow.....
for example..
the folloing took 1 minute to print out....
(kgdb) bt
#0  0xf01adf7d in Debugger ()
#1  0xf01caf31 in sgetc ()
#2  0xf01c6737 in pcvt_timeout ()
#3  0xf01092a4 in softclock ()

which seems slow to me...
but at least you see that much..
you can't DO anything though..
even 'cont' doesn't work...

I must be doing something wrong..

Waht does a good config look like?

and a good .gdbinit file?
