booting an x86/x64 box into the kernel debugger in order to be able to collect a core file

Hi Everyone,
When did things change with booting into the kernel debugger?

I have a customer with an open case...and kernel is coming back stating that instead of the -k option, you need to use -kdb.

kernel$ /platform/i86pc/multiboot kernel/unix -k -B $ZFS-BOOTFS
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/multiboot kernel/amd64/unix -k -B $ZFS-BOOTFS

When I view doc 1003085.1 and click on the link which takes me to the sys admin guide - chapter 14 - on how to set up an x86/x64 box to collect a core file...it still references -k. 

So when did this change?  And is this true?  -k is out and -kdb is what needs to happen? 

Howdy, Stranger!
