            Bug ID: 191607
           Summary: Inconsistent documentation on entering the debugger
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Website
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: emaste at freebsd.org

In the handbook
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-online-ddb.html):

> There is an option available for serial consoles that allows the use of a serial line BREAK on the console line to enter DDB (options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER in the kernel config file).

This option has been modified to control the default value of the 
debug.kdb.break_to_debugger tunable, which controls both serial and video
console debugger behaviour.

ddb(4) may benefit from a mention

kernel config NOTES files have incorrect information (jmg@ is looking at that)
