Details
The kdb command allows you to control "kernel debugging" from the command line. At the moment, the kernel debugging functionality is limited to copying the output produced by the light-weight "org.jnode.vm.Unsafe.debug(...)" calls to the serial port. If you are running under VMWare, you can configure it to capture this in a file in the host OS.

The kdb command turns this on and off. Kernel debugging is normally off when JNode boots, but you can alter this with a bootstrap switch.
