Same on my machine:
FreeBSD 7of9.unimatrix-zero.borg 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Fri May

root at 7of9.unimatrix-zero.borg:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL i386
I found a third way to crash the kernel: If you press any key during the boot
process after the hard disks have been mounted, it also crashes. On my
machine during the boot process a lot of output is scrolling over the screen.
But at the line "Starting sshd." the scrolling stops a few seconds. If I then
press any key, the crash happens. Pressing any key before the disks are
mounted does not harm. If I do not touch anything, a few moments later the
boot prompt appears and everything is fine.
I haven't seen this on FreeBSD 5.3, but I am not sure if I ever dropped into
the single user mode there.
