ddb running on crash dumps, but with two notable changes:
- Breakpoints, watches, etc are obviously never going to work so they
are not handled.
- You can pipe output to the shell, e.g. ps | grep foo
Items remaining to be done:
- Port it to architectures other than i386. This isn't difficult, just
a case of making db_disasm.c/db_trace.c or their equivalent compile
and work.
- Make more of the "show" commands work, e.g "show uvmexp".
because the -o linux flag was not supplied, i.e. it is the sensible
default. People who absolutely do not want the extra files in
their /proc for whatever aesthetic reason (it's not like they
consume any resources) can do -o nolinux.

* Say that the "nfs" inference is deprecated. (It was deprecated in
revision 1.87 of mount.c, dated 2009-01-11.)
* Add "-t nfs" in an example, so as not to rely on the automatic
inference of nfs when the path contains a colon.
* Try to improve the description of how the arguments are interpreted.
count on "large" (>=32MB) file systems when fetching the geometry from
the medium. This confuses some software (which is to say Windows)
when a device newfs(8)ed under NetBSD is transported to another
system. (Note: The rest of the code uses 'bsec', and DTRT for smaller
file systems.)
