The information written to the console usually contains the current contents of the CPU registers, along with a kernel error message and a trap number that provide valuable information for analyzing the panic. The same display is available through the panic function of the crash(ADM) command run on a postmortem dump. Note that some crashes may not generate a register dump.
The console display when the system panics looks something like the following. The line numbers are included for reference only; they do not appear on the actual display.

Each dot displayed on the screen corresponds to a 64KB block of memory (or 16 4K pages). Therefore, systems with more memory configured will have more dots than systems with less memory.8 PANIC: Kernel mode trap.
