Thanks everybody for their help.
As it turns out, I guess dump was being starved for memory, as
running it while booted into FreeBSD normally using -L to indicate a
live filesystem worked just fine. I believe this is because there is
an extra swap file available from a normal FreeBSD boot, as specified
in my /etc/rc.conf. I'm not sure if my theory completely holds up,
but there you have it.
Thanks again! I'm up and running...
That's very likely. I usually start single user mode with something
like the following:
# adjkerntz -i
# swapon -a
# fsck -p
# mount -u /
# mount -va
Having a swap partition enabled definitely helps to avoid ending up
without any free memory ;)
I was doing swapon -a too, but perhaps this command does not enable
swap directories that have been attached to /etc/rc.conf?
