yeah, that is quite a puzzler. Along with why the contents of the panic come out on the CRT when you apparently have a serial console... I'm really grasping at straws here...but what's in your /etc/boot.conf? (and are you SURE?) What happens if you just delete(/rename/hide) it? what happens if you just "boot" instead of "boot hd0a:/bsd"? ALSO...does anything different happen between a cold power-off/power-on and a reboot? Nick.
