Hi,

On a Soekris box, is it possible to debug a FreeBSD kernel online using 
remote gdb?  I already have the 2ed system to build the image for the 
soekris anyway, and thus the directory with the sources and symbols.

To debug when the target is a traditional PC, I've followed the 
developers handbook.  In those cases, the system had its own keyboard 
and monitor.  Does anything change when the targe is a Soekris box?

Also, is using PXE an option?  I'd prefer to not have to write a new 
image to flash each time changes are made to source code.

Thanks,
MikeC
