in such case it is good idea to boot as:

ok set nmi=kmdb
ok boot -k 
or 
ok boot -kd

this way your nmi will get you to the kmdb.

And yes, we should document the ‘nmi’ property, it can have values ‘ignore’, ‘panic’ and ‘kmdb’, see https://src.illumos.org/source/xref/illumos-gate/usr/src/uts/i86pc/os/mlsetup.c?r=d32f26ee#159
