After reading a bit more, I still do not know why I do not get a crash 
dump with dumpdev="AUTO" (and /var/crash/ having enough space for a full 
memory dump). Is it too early during boot for dumpon to be set?

After reading http://www.unixguide.net/freebsd/faq/18.13.shtml , I found 
that ffffffff806e8040 t usb_process is the last symbol before 
instruction pointer = 0x20:0xffffffff806e80aa. Does this help?
