Hello.
>From my understanding of the kernel options:
options PANIC_REBOOT_WAIT_TIME=xx # seconds before reboot
options KDB_UNATTENDED # only required if compiled
with kernel debugger
# options RESTARTABLE_PANICS # should not be set
May be, you should also set kern.shutdown.kproc_shutdown_wait
in sysctl.conf to some reasonable time.
