No, it isn't. 5.0-release is not a production system, it's a development system. The correct procedure when you are having problems is to upgrade your system to the lastest version of 5.0-CURRENT to see if the problem has already been fixed, then send mail to current@freebsd.org if you are still having problems. For dealing with panics, you should have a kernel with symbols built so you can provide a stack trace of the problem. Being able to identify the problem and provide a fix is strongly encouraged for -current users. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
