+Debugging Metalkit Apps
+-----------------------
+
+Using VMware's gdb stub, you can get source-level debugging for your
+Metalkit apps.
+
+Add these three config options to your .vmx file:
+
+    debugStub.listen.guest32 = "TRUE"
+    debugStub.hideBreakpoints = "TRUE"
+    monitor.debugOnStartGuest32 = "TRUE"
+
+Now run your VM. It should hang just after power on, before showing
+the BIOS. If you can see your VM's stdout, you should see a message
+about attaching gdb. Now we can attach gdb. You'll need the .elf file
+which matches the .img you're running in the VM. Metalkit's default
+makefiles compile ELF versions of your binary with full debug symbols.
+

+    No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command.

+    Breakpoint 1 at 0x100ba2: file main.c, line 11.
+    (gdb) cont
+    Continuing.
+
+Now you should see the VM boot. If you need to stop earlier, to debug
+the bootloader, you can set a breakpoint at *0x7c00 instead. Usually
+starting at main() is quite sufficient. As soon as Metalkit loads, you
+should hit this breakpoint. From here on, all the normal gdb debug-fu
+should work.
