You may have one of the following problems:
1. dev option not installed
Use the versions command to see what is installed:
versions -vI
should show dev.sw.cc installed. The fact that you have
dbx indicates that this not likely to be the problem.
2. /debug directory has been rmdir'd
If it is gone, just mkdir it and reboot.
3. dbg filesystem not properly configured in the kernel.
Make sure the files I mentioned above are present.
If not, I would re-install the dev option.
Background:
To run dbx, you need to install the dev option tape along with eoe1 and eoe2.
During the installation of the dev option, the directory /debug is created as
a mount point for the /debug pseudo-filesystem. Along with dbx and many other
files, the dev option includes the kernel support for the debugger,
/usr/sysgen/boot/dbg.o and /usr/sysgen/master.d/dbg. When you exit the
installation tool, it should re-configure the kernel to include this module.
When you re-boot, the startup code in /etc/init.d/MOUNTFSYS checks to see
whether or not you have a /debug directory, and if so, mounts /debug.
