Re: kernel panics at boot, how to specify dump device?

This is an easy problem to solve. Drop into ddb, and do a "show disk/device", e.g.: ddb show disk/ad0s1b dev_t = 0xf000b444 This will return to you the dev_t for it. Take this value, and call setdumpdev(dev_t value): ddb call setdumpdev(0xf000b444) The setdumpdev() call should return 0 for

Hi all, I have a 4-STABLE kernel that panics at boot. How do I force the kernel to core dump? I know that the handbook says to build a debug kernel and to set the dump device via (dumpon + /etc/rc.conf) but in this case the kernel panics during booting. The handbook says that, if the kernel
