To All:
I'm starting to debug a cross-compiled kernel on my machine for
turning on a particular accelerator. Due to the cross-compilation and the
accelerator and the speed of my NetBSD machine, it would be really hard to
do a direct trace on the kernel. So, is there any good way of figuring out
how far the kernel has gotten along such as putting in code to beep or flash
a light or something? It's a pretty weird question, but all the changes
I'm making are right as NetBSD starts up (+ cross-compile + accelerator stuff).
And when it freezes at the start, I'd like to know how far it actually got.
Thanks in advance,
I-Jong
