I could give -HEAD a spin, although I rather wouldn't as this is my
work laptop which i spent 2 month customizing (openbox and all). I am
afraid -HEAD could maybe fix my wifi, but bring me much many
other problems.

I do not see kernel panic, it just instantly resets. Do I need to set
dumpdev to something other than "NO" in rc.conf?
