Take a look in /var/crash for a 'vmcore.N' dump.  If it exists, you
can get debugging information by doing:

cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL
kgdb kernel.debug /var/crash/vmcore.N (replacing 'N' with the latest
crash file number).

To get the backtrace, type 'bt' in kgdb.

Full debugging information can be found at:
