After installation of dragonfly in vmware i got the following kernel
panic on reboot
http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/143/whoopslp8.jpg
Additionally, when i entered 'call dumpsys' it returned '0xc1d3dc00'
I chose default options in the installer except for swap size (changed
from 2GB to 512MB) and keymap (changed to us.dvorak).
vmware-server version: 1.0.1.29996-r4

I think it's trying to write out a core file for a seg-faulted user
process after it has dismounted /, which is too late in the reboot
sequence. The question is: is that the init process, the process
that called 'reboot', or something else? A 'ps' from the DDB prompt
might give us a hint.
Call dumpsys never works right.  If dumps are enabled, just typing
'panic' from the DDB prompt and hitting return twice should be enough.

The bug seems to be repeatable and i've simply selected the reboot
option from the installer. Here's the "ps" output:

Ooooh... I'll bet it's the MFS mount.  If you unmount the MFS mounts
before rebooting, then reboot, does that fix the problem?

I unmounted everything except for /dev (device busy) after exiting the
installer, and the bug showed-up again. Is there any way to make csh,
getty and stuff stop using /dev?

I will try to reproduce it.  The crash only occurs when you are rebooting
from the installer, right ?
Recent code commits have tightened up the handling of filesystem mount
points. This particular panic is exposing a bug that has probably
existed for a long time.

Happens always after installation. It doesn't matter if i reboot
directly from the installer, or from csh as root

It doesn't seem to happen anymore, at least outside of vmware.
