I haven't tried it that way round, but I have debugged a Linux kernel over a serial line with FreeBSD gdb. That suggests that it might work the other way round, too. Unfortunately, my experience with NetBSD doesn't bear this out: I can debug a NetBSD kernel with FreeBSD gdb, but not the other way round. Greg -- Note: I discard all HTML mail unseen.
