Tips on remote debugging for filesystem code

[Aijaz Baig]

HI Gary

Just checked that. Indeed that was the case. In addition I was running
FreeBSD on top of vmware hypervisor and had not allowed hardware
acceleration features pass through to the FreeBSD VM. It is now working!
Need to explore more on getting it to connect to GDB

Perhaps you'll see a thread soon for it (Has anything worked perfectly for
the first time ever?? ;) )!
