SoftICE is actually overkill; ddd and gdb are probably best,
unless you are talking protected mode code.
If your code is running in the kernel, you will want to
look at /sys/i386/conf/LINT, and look for the "DDB" and
"BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER" options. That gives you access to a
non-visual SoftICE-like debugger, which is capable of
doing protected mode and user mode debugging.
I occasionally miss SoftICE's visual change notification
features. 8-(.
