I regularly mount FreeBSD file systems under NetBSD and read and write
to them.  This weekend I had need for a LiveCD meant to boot a FreeBSD
laptop and mount its directories.  This has been causing panics.  It
only seemed to cause panics if I wrote to the disk.  It usually
happened a minute or so after writing.  I assume that was when sync
actually wrote to the drive.  The write succeeded by the way even
though the drive had to be fsck'd.

I was able to work around this for my purposes this weekend but I would
like to help track down the problem.  Before I issue a PR I thought I
might see if anyone recognized this issue and if there was anything I
should be doing other than creating a DEBUG kernel and making the dump
available online.
