Generally the easiest way is to boot with a serial console.
(Enter "consdev com0" at the boot loader prompt
to switch to com0)
Alternatively, you could set a breakpoint at the appropriate place (do
you have symbols?), like aha_attach(), or perhaps the attach function
for the next driver subsequent.
Just boot with -d to start in the kernel debugger, and then
b aha_attach
c
and hit 'c' to continue when you land there.
If Manuel's kernel isn't built with symbols, you'll have
to get the address of aha_attach from him.
