If you're only goal is to grab data, have you considered booting up with a live CD such as Knoppix (Knoppix Linux Boot CD, Download Disk and Documents, Discuss, Get Help)? You mentioned being familiar with Ubuntu. They also provide a live CD (Try Ubuntu before you install it | Ubuntu). Either should allow access to the drive(s) and their data providing they're not physically damaged.

PANIC(9)						   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual						  PANIC(9)

NAME
panic -- Bring down system on fatal error SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/systm.h> void vpanic(const char *fmt, va_list ap); void panic(const char *fmt, ...); DESCRIPTION
The panic() and vpanic() functions terminate the NetBSD system. The message fmt is a printf(3) style format string which is printed to the console and saved in the variable panicstr for later retrieval via core dump inspection. A newline character is added at the end automati- cally, and is thus not needed in the format string. If a kernel debugger is installed, control is passed to it after the message is printed. If the kernel debugger is ddb(4), control may be passed to it, depending on the value of ddb.onpanic. See options(4) for more details on setting ddb.onpanic. If control is not passed through to ddb(4), a ddb(4)-specific function is used to print the kernel stack trace, and then control returns to panic(). If control remains in panic(), an attempt is made to save an image of system memory on the configured dump device. If during the process of handling the panic, panic() is called again (from the filesystem synchronization routines, for example), the system is rebooted immediately without synchronizing any filesystems. panic() is meant to be used in situations where something unexpected has happened and it is difficult to recover the system to a stable state, or in situations where proceeding might make the things worse, leading to data corruption/loss. It is not meant to be used in scenar- ios where the system could easily ignore and/or isolate the condition/subsystem and proceed. In general developers should try to reduce the number of panic() calls in the kernel to improve stability. RETURN VALUES
The panic() function does not return. SEE ALSO
