The message you see there has nothing directly to do with the crash of the system, though it may be an indication of hardware issues. To find out, you'll need to take a processor dump and see what's going on. Unfortunately, I can no longer find the instructions in the online handbook; does anybody else know where they are? I have some instructions in my debugging tutorial at http://www.lemis.com/grog/Papers/Debug-tutorial/tutorial.pdf, but there should be more concise information on the FreeBSD web site.
