WOW! this is the first time i hear of such a concept. it seems great
for people like me who are desktop users without any serial/firewire

is there a way of trying this out somehow? personally i wouldn't need
the memory dump to work in partitions. i'd simply blug in a blank usb
stick and have the memory dump dd'ed onto it. i think adding partition
awareness is not really needed.
ok i read some more details and i think i figured out how to dump the
memory to a usb stick. question still remains however: will i be able to
use that memory snapshot in kgdb or gdb?
Probably not. I thought about it a bit more and realized that you will
miss state of cpu registers which is rather important.
How does debugging over firewire work if it only has access to host RAM ?
registers are saved to ram as part of exception handling..
