Steve, I recall having to set dumpdev in /etc/rc.conf before I could get FreeBSD to reboot automatically after a panic. I have dumpdev=AUTO set on all of my headless servers. If you are feeling especially brave, you can also set fsck_y_enable=YES and background_fsck=NO.
Good luck! ;) -- "I slashread your textcast about jargon and nodnodnod with your cyber-sentiment." - gad_zuki!
