If you browse the filed problem reports, you will find
more than enough real panics and if you also have a look at
the closed ones, you'll find solutions as well.

You could also panic your systems with classics
like:

- kldloading /dev/mem
- kldloading kernel modules that aren't in sync with the kernel
- mounting a file system through USB and then unplugging the drive
  without umounting first
