Hope I got your question right.  The disk is an additional VMWare disk
and was only used to test the installer.  The procedure was to label the
disk, install DF on the HAMMER partition and let the installer unmount
it.  Nothing special and no big load.  The disk was idle most of the
time.  Strange thing here was that this panic happened after about 10
slice/mount/install/unmount cycles.  After a reboot of the VMWare VM it
worked again for about 10 test cycles.

Cheers
