You should also have a look at
http://www.lemis.com/grog/Papers/Debug-tutorial/tutorial.pdf.
That's Greg Lehey's script of his excellent tutorial
on kernel debugging.

Look at the FreeBSD Developer HandBook on debugging:

What to do when panic?

2005-07-21 Thread Kövesdán Gábor

Hello,

I've never debugged FreeBSD, but now I've decided to help the testing 
process of  FreeBSD 6. I installed it, and then I had a panic. I got a 
debugger prompt, but I don't know what to do with that. I don't know the 
debugger commands. Please let me know what should I do when I have an 
another panic. What should I type and what kind of information should I 
send as a PR.


Thanks,

Gábor Kövesdán
