 It feels like msgbufp variable has absurd value. Can you arrange
 to get the output of verbose boot, esp. the SMAP lines ?
 Also, you could add printfs near amd64/amd64/machdep.c:1517
   /* Map the message buffer. */
   msgbufp = (struct msgbuf *)PHYS_TO_DMAP(phys_avail[pa_indx]);
 to show the values of all participants, i.e. msgbufp, pa_indx
 and phys_avail[pa_indx].


I've been trying to anything useful after the SMAP printed out, and have
failed.  I assume that because of the place where the system is throwing
a panic.  

Here is the SMAP output, I had to capture it twice to get it all on the
screen.

http://people.freebsd.org/~sbruno/smap2.png

Immediately after, it jumps into the panic.  I assume that this means
more to you folks than it means to me.  I'm still working on the printf.

This is probably completely wrong for this problem but in the tiny case
it isn't, maybe it will give someone an idea: I remember in the old
times (tm) that there was a trick by which the msgbuf is supposed to be
preserved across soft reboots. I don't know the details, and it might
just be valid for i386 but part of that deal could be that some code
tries to parse that memory area for valid msgbuf and due to some
garbage, fails with such a panic.

Strange you should mention this.  Peter@ and I just had a 30 minute
driveway conversation about just this issue.

So here's the problem.

Machine in in Houston, can't netboot/nfsboot it.  The basic installers
all will get me to the Beastie loader, but fail after loading the kernel
and attempting to boot.

I guess, I could replace the kernel on the CD and have them reburn it?

You may create a booting USB stick and send them the image.

 Perhaps this is something as simple as a hardware failure?  HP DL980
 looks sick, but I'm not sure.  Here's the hardware logs, from the iLO on
 the box as screen scraping on the console is pointless as it's garbled
 too badly.
 
 Bad CPU, Bad Ram or other?

Hard to say -- the MCE will need to be decoded.  I'm working on a
program which can do this, though I know John Baldwin already has one
which should work.

Will it work something like http://freshmeat.net/projects/mcelog/ ?
