I may be mistaken, but I don't think you actually need to boot the debug-kernel 
and modules (in fact I don't think you can), rather those files are intended 
for being read by kgdb while debugging a core that is generated by savecore(8) 
so that you have access to full symbol table etc.  this page section in the dev 
handbook debugging kernel core dumps:

Yes, you are right.

However obvious it may seem, it isn’t for somebody who’s never really done that…


I asked the same question in my PR and got an answer immediately - didn’t 
expect that to go that fast…

great, glad i'm not spreading mis-info!  i don't think it's too obvious IMHO, took me a while to grok it a year or so ago when i was debugging some graphics driver issues :)
