It's as simple as making your swap slice available for dumping, and adding a line in your rc.conf file. Of course you'll need to "lift" the information of interest from the vmcore, for the dump to be of any value. :) Further reading/details can easily be obtained at the following links: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html#KERNELDEBUG-OBTAIN http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html It's really a simple process.
