Color me ignorant. I've jumped into kernel hacking on my 2.1R system 
with both feet and but now I've run into a roadblock.

`man -k debug` hints at ddb. `man ddb` says it's a better replacement for 
kdb. I've built ddb support into my kernel? Is there supposed to be a
separate ddb program? If so there's no such beast on my system. A cursory 
look at FreeBSD-stable on WC didn't reveal sources for a separate ddb 
program either. The ddb man page says a lot about how to use ddb once 
running but???

What exactly is the strategy for debugging a kernel?
