I would like to learn how to debug the 386bsd kernel.  I'm having a
problem right now where loading my .emacs initialization file into
emacs causes the kernel to crash.  I have some documentation on
debugging crash dumps from another BSD-like OS but I can't find a
crash dump on 386bsd.  Is this something I have to enable?  Any tips
on debugging the kernel, including pointers to documentation would be
much appreciated.  Thanks.
