I managed to figure out that this is related to devfs. Whenever I have
devfs support compiled in it panics. This is even if I don't mount
devfs (devfs=mount) and don't have "Automatically mount at boot time" in
the kernel config.
Anyone know why? This is a significant nuisance if you're running a
gentoo system.
