Subject: In search of pointers to driver debugging on SPARC

I've written some code, now it's time to compile and run. How do I
watch the fireworks? I'm guessing some form of gdb for kernel
debugging ( KGDB options in conf file ) but I don't know how to run
the kernel debugger once my code drops the system into it.
I'm running headless (no framebuffer) with a serial console on TTYA
and Ethernet.
I'm assuming I'll have to use the serial console but after that ....
Features of real interest
- How to drop into debugger before my driver loads
- Load symbols for my driver
- Set a breakpoint in my driver
- Return to OS and automagically drop into debugger when my code is
called.
