If you tell your kernel to dump on > /dev/ar0s1b it should be fine. At some point someone changed the default setting to "automatically configure dumping" which resulted in odd warnings during the boot. I've trimmed a few, and hope to trim the last few. Autoconfiguration of dumps is neat and all, but lots of odd warnings for users isn't really. It would be interesting to know if it works though -- the warnings suggest that dumps aren't found because the dump device isn't autoconfigured until after dumps are checked for...
