I couldn't find this documented anywhere but my own 
anecdotal experience has been that you won't get a kernel dump so 
long as DDB (even UNATTENDED) is in the kernel.

I was able to force one, through DDB, by disabling the UNATTENDED 
option and calling doadump manually.  I was able to get one by 
removing DDB completely from the kernel and setting a dumpdev.  But 
I was never able to get one having both set up.
