According to `man dumpon` (on a 5-STABLE system): Since dumpon cannot be used during kernel initialization, the dumpdev variable of loader(8) must be used to enable dumps for system panics which occur during kernel initialization. But I don't find 'dumpdev' referenced anywhere under /usr/src/sys/boot/. Is the documentation wrong? Regards, Brian.Received on Thu Apr 28 2005 - 08:29:56 UTC
