Rebooting after kernel panic

Hello,
I run a small server under FreeBSD 5.3, but it's very unstable (kernel
panics) and I don't have time to debug it.
So I customized the GENERIC kernel by adding these options, in order to
automatically reboot the server every time it panics (this is apparently
NOT the default behaviour in 5.3):
makeoptions DEBUG=-g
options KDB
options KDB_UNATTENDED
options DDB
But it still won't reboot. It just shows the usual message saying there
was a page fault while in kernel mode, and a prompt appears on screen. I
can't reboot from that prompt.
Please tell me why adding KDB_UNATTENDED has no effect and what I should
do to obtain the desired behaviour.
Thank you.
Nicolas
