To activate KDB at boot is done by turn off this configuration
flag in building your kernel: CONFIG_KDB_OFF
   # CONFIG_KDB_OFF is not set
If your kernel was built with CONFIG_KDB_OFF, you can add this
option to your kernel boot command line: "kdb=on".

However, AFAIK kdb support is only maintained for ia64, x86_64, and
i386 architectures.
