  1. Your dmesg(8) issue

    Your cp(1) command failed because you assumed "dmesg" is a file. It is not. It is program. An application. A command. It outputs the kernel message buffer, which often goes by the same "dmesg" name, which has confused you. It has a man page: dmesg(8).

    Here is an example of mounting a USB stick defined as sd0, containing a single FAT filesystem at virtual disklabel partition "i" and using the dmesg(8) command to send the buffer to a file in the mounted filesystem.
    Code:
    # mount /dev/sd0i /mnt
    # dmesg > /mnt/my.dmesg
    # umount /mnt
  2. Your earlier crash is now an apparent hang

    You first reported a repeatable kernel page fault trap. Now, you are reporting an apparent kernel hang. Whatever was happening previously that was repeatable, is now no longer repeatable. Something changed. What?

    It is not clear to me if your first post with the scrambled text was exactly what was displayed on your console. Your post in the announcement thread was different than what was posted above.

    I (and anyone else here) can only see the information you post.
