The reason is that 8-STABLE fails to stop scheduler on panic
that breaks writing of crashdumps.

8.3-STABLE has new sysctl kern.stop_scheduler_on_panic.
You should set it to 1 to get crashdumps saved.

One more: does your box has PS/2 keyboard or USB? It matters too.
For systems having USB keyboard there is another patch needed to obtain
crashdumps (by Andriy Gapon):
