Re: Kernel programming
Are you looking for something more than: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kerneldebug.html I don't know if there is any. There are a fair amount of undocumented system calls in the FreeBSD kernel as I understand it. Chapter 22 of the handbook may be helpful too. There may also be some articles in say daemonnews or something, but basically the source code is going to be what you'll have to go on.

Try http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ Andrew W. Reiter has written a nice kernel mod tutorial. There recently (last week or something) was a thread here or on another mailinglist on how to debug kernel moduls, which is a little bit tricky. Just search the archives.

Well, actually debugging modules is a little bit more tricky than debugging kernels with statically linked drivers. This is what I meant.

It's still documented in the handbook. I don't see where you find a contradiction here.

yeah thanks for that, i figured the code was a good start.

I like these too (the above is a good list): man 7 development gives a nice model and tutorial to setup an environment. man 7 build documents some of the /usr/src/ targets for make.

Re: Kernel programming (fwd)
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. -A.
