This would be a very good use for those (almost) redundant floppy drives. After a kernel panic, you shouldn't touch the HDD in case you make it worse. But writing to an FDD would be a great solution.

*Warning* you'd have to make this activated manually, because it would trash anything that was already on a floppy belonging to an unsuspecting user.
