From BUGS section of dumpon(1): Dumpon currently allows only devices with minor number 1 to be used as dump devices. % ls -l /dev/*wd0b crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 1 30 Mar 1999 /dev/rwd0b brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 1 30 Mar 1999 /dev/wd0b % ls -l /dev/*wd0s1b crw-r----- 1 root wheel 3, 0x00020001 2 Wrz 11:36 /dev/rwd0s1b brw-r----- 1 root wheel 0, 0x00020001 2 Wrz 11:36 /dev/wd0s1b Shouldn't be /dev/wd0b used as a dump device? Also, try using serial console to catch panic messages. -- << Marcin Cieslak // saper@system.pl >> ----------------------------------------------------------------- SYSTEM Internet Provider http://www.system.pl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
