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, G?bor K?vesd?n

That's Greg Lehey's script of his excellent tutorial on kernel debugging. Norbert
