The number you're referring to from the netbsd-bugs mailing list is a
Problem Report (PR) number - they're assigned by the problem reporting
system (gnats) when a human being reports a problem with the system. See:
http://www.netbsd.org/Misc/send-pr.html
for more information.
The debugger you enter after a crash does not have anything to do with
the number; when you crash, it's important to get a copy of the panic
message (if there is one), and perhaps a backtrace, which you can get by
typing "trace" at the db> prompt.
See http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel/ for more information.
