The DJGPP FAQ list *is* the means that should get you a jump start,  if 
you only search it for the problems you have.  In your case, it has this 
in section 12.4:

12.4  Q: When I try to invoke the debugger it crashes my machine, or
         reports an Unsupported DOS request, or Not enough memory.
      A: Be sure to invoke the debugger correctly:

             go32 -d <debugger-name> <program> <args...>


That `-d' switch is what you are missing.

Sections 12.1 - 12.3 of the FAQ explain when should you use gdb and when
gdb-dpmi. 

The latest version of the DJGPP FAQ list is available as faq102.zip from 
the same place you get DJGPP.
