Without commenting on the wisdom of your idea (others can do that),
one thing that's definitely helpful when modifying the kernel is
to get a remote GDB session going. This lets you run GDB in its
full glory on the kernel. You can single step, list files, etc.

Check out the FreeBSD handbook for how to do this. You need two
machines to do this of course.
