Your kernel isn't setup for driver development:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html

Basically, your system is rebooting cause the kernel panics and you're not 
setup for crash dumps, or anything that could help you diagnose the panic.
