State-Changed-Why: 
To submitter:  Are you able to compile the debugger into the kernel
and obtain a backtrace next time it panics?

Add the following to your kernel config file:
options KDB
options DDB
options GDB

Then when the machine crashes next, enter "bt" at the prompt?
(Disclaimer: I've never used FreeBSD/alpha before, but this should work)

By the way, my gut instinct is that this panic is caused by the fact the
serial dongles seem to be disconnecting/reconnecting, and not specifically
because the machine is an Alpha.  However, why they are disconnecting in
the first place, I don't know.
