I have the same problem as Dan - I can't connect to the NY with GDB.

As far as I understand one has to do the following:

1.) start siocons
2.) "load cdrom:\MON\HSS.EXE;1 (in order to load the debug stub)
3.) "load <program>" (I am not sure whether this step is necessary or
not - because of step# 8)
4.) quit siocons
5.) start gdb
6.) enter "file <program>"
7.) "start-remote-debugging" (which sets the remotebaud speed and the
target)
8.) "load <program>"

BUT in step 7.) I get several error messages "Ignoring packet error,
continuing..."
Maybe you could give me a hint, what I can do against it.
