The part I'm playing with at the moment is setting deferred breakpoints, 
e.g.:

zs#zsa_init:b

That breaks, but I struggle with the basic commands to do anything. 
Perhaps I could really cheat by adding a native SPARC gdb executable 
into my Solaris 8 ISO image and then booting that instead of kadb? ;)


ATB,
