Please enable the kernel debugger.     Edit the /etc/conf/sdevice.d/scodb
file and change the N to Y.  Then cd to /etc/conf/cf.d and run ./link_unix
reboot.

The next time the kernel panics you will see the registers and if you type
stack and hit return you will see what the kernel tripped over.  The
function listed at the top will be the function that had the problem.
This isn't always 100% but it can give you a pretty good idea where to
start looking and post another question.
