You are lucky, you go further than I do :) It stops after printing
"Probing devices", with the HD led on, on my Compaq Armada V300. Using DDB,
I can see that sysinstall is in bioread state. I haven't had time to continue
serial remote debugging yet, and I do not know where to break in the kernel.
A question for hackers: from within GDB, you can call subprograms on the
target. Is there any "helper" subprogram in the kernel that can print
a list of processes (as in DDB) and display the context of a particular
process given its PID?
