Description Adam McDougall 2007-04-17 19:40:01 UTC

This website mentions:

"If you would like to break to the debugger from the command prompt, simply type the command:

# sysctl debug.debugger_on_panic=1"


http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-online-ddb.html

I am pretty sure debug.kdb.enter=1 is intended instead of debug.debugger_on_panic=1.

Fix: 

replace debug.debugger_on_panic=1 with debug.kdb.enter=1 in proper spot
