Synopsis: dumpon accepts any device, including none swap devices

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: joerg
State-Changed-When: Sun Oct 12 15:58:30 MEST 1997
State-Changed-Why: 

I think it is legitime to dump to any device.  I was once
contemplating to make dumping to tapes work, but never got around to
do so.  Anyway, i don't see why it needs to be restrained to swap
partitions.
