	      Enable the kdebug debugger to debug the kernel. By default, kdebug is not enabled in the kernel.	Produce full dumps when the system
	      crashes. By default, partial dumps are produced.	Prompt for an alternate kernel and special arguments when the system is booted. By
	      default, no questions are asked.
