You can capture ddb session in capture buffer and then extract it from the
dump. In ddb run

capture on

do your debugging

then run "panic" or "call doadump" and after reboot:

ddb capture -M /var/crash/vmcore.X print > out

I would recommend to increase debug.ddb.capture.bufsize sysctl variable to be
sure all the ddb session will be captured.
