Default Reporting Installation Kernel Panics on New Boxes

Greetings,

I've a new Laptop with a new Processor (Intel); and am running into Kernel Panics Failures during installations.

I'm no kernel debugger, so "ddb>" commands are a bit foreign to me. I have downloaded a few man pages on it; but my questions are:

Q1: Since the Laptop is "non-functional" due to the kernel panic (presuming sendbug doesn't work, since it kicked me out to the ddb prompt), how do I get the "trace" and "ps" outputs to bugs@openbsd.org?

Q1A: Is it, "copy on paper by hand, and send the email on another OS"?

Thanks.
