Good question.  On a system built from source, you'ld want either:

/usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel/kernel.debug

or

/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC/kernel.debug

but you don't have either of those when using a -RELEASE kernel IIRC.
Well, certainly not the last one.

Failing that, I'm afraid that I do not know how you're meant to be able
to get a decent backtrace out of a RELEASE kernel.

	Cheers,
