are you sure it really booted off the USB?

I've never seen a USB disk come up as wd*, always sd*.
so your crash makes sense, since you told it to boot off something that
doesn't yet exist.
sounds like your USB image is not right. it should be booting off
sd0. when the kernel boots, do you see sd0 in the dmesg?
you got trace output, so where's the dmesg?
