- You need to create a debugging version of the kernel - look at the bosboot
- command for this. The debug information is sent out thru the serial port.
- So hook up a terminal or another machine to the serial port ( or one of
- the serial
- ports) on your Rs/6000.
-
- For example, I've hooked up a 386 machine and run Kermit in OS/2 to get at
- the debugging information.
-
- Ofcourse, all this applies if you want to see what the printfs put out. There
- are other ways of looking at the stuff generated in the trace buffers.
-
- Furthermore, assuming that you are pulling in the appropriate ".exp" files,
- you may want to include "-lcsys -lsys" among your options to /bin/ld.
