I'm not sure exactly what to do here. I have absolutely no previous 
experience with kernel debugging, using gdb etc. so I'm lost without 
specific instructions on what to do, what to try etc.

The vinum.ko file is not stripped:

eivind at vimes:~/tmp/debug > file /boot/kernel/vinum.ko
/boot/kernel/vinum.ko: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 
(FreeBSD), not stripped

The web page mentions that I should either use the crash dump (which isn't 
created...) or use remote serial gdb to analyze the problem. I guess I'll 
have to find a nullmodem cable, install FreeBSD on another computer here (I 
couldn't find a Windows version of gdb) and try to figure out exactly how 
to  do remote GDB debugging (I've looked around in the developers handbook, 
specifically 
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerne
ldebug-online-gdb.html>)
