After fielding yet another question about the debugger I've accepted that a 
minimal readme is in order.

+For the moment xen must be re-built with domu_debug enabled in Rules.mk. The 
+user-level stub gdbserver-xen is created by running gdbbuild in tools/gdb. The
+gdbbuild script currently assumes that bitkeeper installed.
+
+
+In domain 0, run as root
+> gdbserver-xen <name/ip-address>:<port> --attach <domid>
+my current dev box is curly and the new domain id is 1, so:
+> sudo gdbserver-xen curly:2345 --attach 1
+
+this will pause the domain until the gdb client tells it to continue.
+
+Either in domain 0 or on a separate machine run (unmodified) gdb:
+> gdb <symbol-file>
+so when debugging FreeBSD it is,
+> gdb kernel.debug
+GNU gdb 6.2

+This will show you the line of code where it stopped.
+GDB will expect the path to the source to be the same as when you
+built the kernel, let me know if that isn't the case.
+'b <line>' will set a breakpoint at line in the current file
+'b <file>:<line>' will set a breakpoint in the specified file at the
+specified line
+'c' will continue
+'c n' will continue through the next n breakpoints
+'s' will single step
+'i r' will dump the registers
+'set $eax=5' will set eax to 5
+'p variable' will print the value of variable if it is in scope
+'i line *addr' will tell you what line of source code addr corresponds to
+'x/i addr' will decode the instruction at addr
+'x/10i addr' will decode 10 instructions starting at addr
\ No newline at end of file
