This is exactly what I was afraid would happen. The SATA based box just 
hung up again, with all of the kernel debugging options in place:

   makeoptions   DEBUG=-g
   options       KDB
   options       DDB

But I wasn't able to do anything with the keyboard in order to save a 
crashdump, so I got no other choices than hitting the reset button.

Regards,
Atanas
