Do you have a dumpdev, too?  The `savecore_enable' knob is history now
(it was a bandaid only against savecore(8) not obeying its minfree
file), but dumpdev remains a prerequisite for kernel core dumps.

Can you run it on a serial console, with DDB enabled?  (Maybe even
over a modem line.)

Does the machine provide NFS services, or act as a NFS client?  I've
seen a number of crashes on RELENG_2_2 lately that might be related to
NFS.

Is the CD-ROM regularly being used?  I've seen another couple of
crashes that might be related to a bug or two in the cd9660 f/s.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
