+ This debugger is minimal and text based. Excellent help can
+ be obtained from the debugger by typing "Help Help" or
+ "help" from the debugger command console. If you compiled
+ MDB as a module you may need to load the debugger with
+ the 'modprobe mdb' before you can access the debugger
+ from the Linux Console.

+ Reset any Console Redirection to default system settings (0)
+ when the MDB debugger is active. The Debugger will restore
+ the redirection to the custom settings when the debugger
+ is exited. This feature is useful on systems which by default
+ redirect printk output and the screen debugger output to a log
+ file or system device, which can prevent the debugger screen from
+ being visible. Enabling this feature does not affect or disable
+ remote operations via serial port. It is recommended to enable
+ this feature by default if intensive debugging is intended for
+ the target system.
