Are there kernel crash dumps written to /var/crash/`hostname` ?
If yes, can you try to get a panic stack backtrace from
the kernel crash dump:
# cd /var/crash/`hostname`
# ls -la
# mdb -k 0 (where "0" is sequence number of the crash, from the
previous listing)
$C
the output of the mdb "::msgbuf" command could be interesting, too.

What kind of hardware are you using?
cpu? mainboard? chipset? hdd? etc..
Just a wild guess: b99 contains a nasty memory corruption
bug in the nv_sata driver (which is fixed in b101) ...
