dumpdev merely controls which swap device the dump gets written to.
You probably want to either compile your kernel with KDB_UNATTENDED or set 
the debug.debugger_on_panic sysctl to 0.
(I run my systems to drop into KDB interactively, but reading 
kern/kern_shutdown.c seems to indicate that this will do what you want.)
