Subject:   automatic reboots after kernel panic
Message-ID:  <Pine.SOL.3.91.960813130444.7112D-100000@tab012.tabula.com>

This is a followup to my earlier, quick message - the 
machine finally stayed up.

(After several weeks of no problems, the machine went down on a kernel panic.
It rebooted fine, went through the full boot sequence, printed the login 
prompt to the console,and immediately rebooted.  The boot sequence 
completed, at which time the machine rebooted itself.  This happened ~20 
times.)

(running FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE #0 - the second, good release, P100, IDE, 
16M, kernel.GENERIC)

After the initial kernel panic, the machine rebooted itself immediately after
completing the boot sequence.  I power-cycled the machine, etc and saw 
the same behavior ~20 times.  How can I get a better idea of what caused 
the initial panic?  Or of what could have caused the machine to 
automatically reboot? 
Many thanks

This is initial panic:

then after the boot sequence:
