This panic is caused by a zyd driver bug and would be fixed by a patch
that just prevents a panic.  The patch is attached with this email.

After testing why the stick can't be initialized during booting up, I
can see that this condition only appears when I reboot my FreeBSD, not
power on.  It was loaded successfully whenever I power on.   I think
this problem is caused by the problem of the usb stick hardware reset
and take some time to fix though I am looking at the code.

Thank you for your feedback!
