Well, I built a GENERIC kernel and bootet that, it also crashes, but I
didn't find any coredump (as found in the crashes with the custom
kernel). I was able to do a backtrace with the GENERIC kernel, but
incapable of saving the trace - I did this in a rush, sorry.

I went back, just on a hunch, to FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #1 r237000, which
works, but this isn't the last working revision.

I will look tomorrow for how to generate a dump or backtrace and save
that somehow (if available in the handbook). Otherwise, if not not much
efford, I would appreciate any hint (for the impatient) how to generate
suiatbel debug informations.

Regards,
Oliver
