debugging with Qemu

[Igor Shmukler]

Hello,

We have tried to use qemu for debugging of kernel-level code the same way we used 
bochs in past.
The qemu whether with or without kqemu is quite fast for our needs. The gdb connects 
to guest just fine, however breakpoints break things and qemu stops working.

Our guest OS is FreeBSD 5.3. We would not need to use qemu if not for the problems 
5.3 has with gdb.

Any ideas what could we do besides using painfully slow bochs?

Thank you in advance,

Igor
