Hi!

I'm trying to setup remote kernel debugging so that
I can see whats wrong in my laptop:

    http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2001/05/08/0002.html

I have followed the instructions in

    http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel/kgdb.html
    http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/i386/faq.html#kgdb

but for some reason I can't connect to the target. The target
just waits forever in the "kgdb waiting..." phase.

tip between the remote and target hosts work just fine if I reboot
the target with a GENERIC kernel so the cable is must be okey.

I have connected the serial cable into com0 (as I have only one
in each pc) in both ends and the target's config file has the
following settings:

    options         KGDB            # remote debugger
    options         "KGDB_DEVNAME=\"com\"",KGDBADDR=0x3f8,KGDBRATE=9600
    makeoptions     DEBUG="-g"      # compile full symbol table

In the remote host I have used this .gdbinit

    file netbsd.gdb
    set remotebreak 1
    set remotebaud 9600
    target remote /dev/tty00

In remote's /etc/ttys I have this:

    tty00   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown off local

Any ideas what could be wrong in my setup?
