Are you certain you have crashdumps configured properly?  If you break
to DDB and 'call doadump', does it dump and savecore?

If yes, then you'll at least need to transcribe the instruction
pointer from the system console when the system panics (e.g. remove
KDB_UNATTENDED so that it doesn't automatically reboot after the panic
so you can copy it down, or set up a serial console and log the panic
output there).
