How do I invoke gdb for the kernel or its modules?

I am trying to debug a problem with FC-20 tape controller card and I
need to use gdb on the kernel (while its running of course) and on the
ftape package.

Any way to force gdb to be invoked when the module is invoked or to
force the kernel to run in a mode where gdb can be used? I am using
2.1.89.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give in this matter.
