This is even more true if the hypervisor panicked (the hypervisor has no
way to write to disk).

if it's NetBSD which panics, please try
sysctl -w ddb.onpanic=1

this way, instead of rebooting, the system will stay at the debugger prompt
and you can catch the panic message on screnn assuming you didn't start X11.
