Hi!

What was the name of the switch? In my case (virtual USB-CDROM from a
remote-management card) DFly still panics during kernel boot. I used the
newest CD image from
http://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/pub/DragonFly/snapshots/i386/
LATEST-Devel.iso.bz2 <http://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/pub/DragonFly/snapshots/i386/LATEST-Devel.iso.bz2>        30-May-2008 01:02  106M  

You can see its last messages (screenshot):

Please try booting with the following boot-loader setting:

	set hw.usb.hack_defer_exploration=0

Maybe that helps. Maybe not.
