Ok I re-builded my NanoBSD image without options VIMAGE and the system
now is very stable, when pf is activated the system doesn't reboot.

I have been tried to get kernel file dump since 2 days ago to send it
you but when I try to compile the new kernel, with options vimage and
the others options that you had been mentioned, KDB KDTRACE_FRAME and
KDTRACE_HOOKS, I get this error in the build kernel log file:
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ZROUTER: unknown option "KDTRACE_FRAME"
Searching a little into FreeBSD handbook I found this:
######### HANDBOOK NOTE #########
Note: Users of the AMD64 architecture will want to add the following
line to their kernel configuration file:
options KDTRACE_FRAME
This option provides support for the FBT feature. DTrace will work
without this option; however, there will be limited support for
function boundary tracing.
######### END HANDBOOK NOTE #########
However the alix board processor is not AMD64 based, it is a x86
processor based, 32 bits, Now my question is: is enough good for you
only have the next options enabled:
makeoptions DEBUG=3D-g
options KDB # Kernel debugger related code
options KDB_TRACE # Print a stack trace for a panic
options KDTRACE_HOOKS # Kernel DTrace hooks
options DDB_CTF
Thanks a lot.
