I was referring to this in dumpon.8: 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 it has already been removed (I didn't check the most current man pages). In sysctl.8, I think these mentions should still be removed: kern.dumpdev dev_t yes ... ... ... The device used for crash dumps can be specified using: sysctl kern.dumpdev=/dev/somedev which is equivalent to dumpon /dev/somedev State Changed From-To: open->patched Patched in current Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->remko Patched in current remko 2007-11-28 14:48:31 UTC
