>>> Has anybody got some sort of a kernel debugger working for 386bsd ???

Well, Pace Willison <pace@blitz.com> took the Mach386 Kernel Debugger
("DDB") and ported it to his version of 386BSD (an independent port of
4.3net2 using Mach386 for the hardware-dependent code...) I then took
his changes and got them working under Jolitz-386BSD. The changes went
back to Jolitz, and I've heard that the beta 0.1 release does have
them... 
	I'd rather see 0.1 come out than have people have to hack
these changes in themselves, but if you really want them now, email me
and I'll see about putting them up for ftp.
