If you remove DDB support from the kernel config file, I guess the
standard behaviour is to reboot.

IIRC, there is also a sysctl option to choose at runtime if you prefer
ddb or reboot on panic.

Since you're not going to have physical access to the machine, I
suggest you remove DDB from your config file.

have fun,
