I placed amd(am-utils) on local disc, and it still panics - slightly 
differently:

KDB: enter: panic
[thread pid 1029 tid 100098 ]
Stopped at      kdb_enter+0x3d: movq    $0,0x68f7a0(%rip)
db> tr
Tracing pid 1029 tid 100098 td 0xffffff0007502000
kdb_enter() at kdb_enter+0x3d
panic() at panic+0x17b
vm_fault_copy_entry() at vm_fault_copy_entry+0x283
vmspace_fork() at vmspace_fork+0x4d0
fork1() at fork1+0x35f
fork() at fork+0x1c
syscall() at syscall+0x1e7
Xfast_syscall() at Xfast_syscall+0xe1
--- syscall (2, FreeBSD ELF64, fork), rip = 0x8009f41ac, rsp = 0x7fffffffe788, 
rbp = 0 ---

so IMHO, the problem is somewhere in the fact that root is diskless.
