Trap for young players: was: kernel core files broken in 6.0?

[Julian Elischer]

Figured out why my kernel .debug didn't work to read the core file;

Since this kernel was made by a "make release" the directory it reports is
INSIDE THE BUILD JAIL and not on the main machine.. i.e.
the debug kernel is to be found at
/usr/tmp/chroot/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC

and not at

 /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC

which if it exists, will hold some completely different debug kernel :-/
