Speaking for this I think we can do it by issuing an explicit
watchdog(8) command on shutdown (like, set the timeout to several
minutes) in /etc/rc.d/watchdog's shutdown section.  This would be
trivial to implement.  Additionally, I'd personally think init(8)
should be taught about watchdog facility.

For panics, I think we should have the disk driver to "pat" watchdog
rather than disabling it in their write success callback?  Another
thing is that ddb should be able to disable watchdog when it's waiting
for keyboard input (or received first user input) I think.

Cheers,
