When you say a "cold reboot", is it actually panicking? Do you see any references to the word "panic" in your /var/adm/messages file around the time you ran these commands? If so, can you paste the stack trace here? (Everything from the initial "panic[cpuXX]/thread=0xlongnumber" through to "syncing filesystems... done".
Also, try enabling crash dumps - see the man page dumpadm(1M) - and check the /var/crash/<hostname> directory once you've reproduced the panic.
