This is on a 4.3S System - since the mlx driver doesn't have a dump routine
in it, I've added an IDE drive to the system to hold crashdumps. However,
I'm having problems getting it to work.

I created the slice and partition via /stand/sysinstall.

# grep dumpdev /etc/rc.conf
dumpdev="/dev/ad0s1b"
# swapinfo
Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/ad0s1b        262016        0   262016     0%    Interleaved
# sysctl kern.dumpdev
kern.dumpdev:
# dumpon -v /dev/ad0s1b
dumpon: sysctl: kern.dumpdev: No space left on device
#

I've had a look through the handbook, google, archives, etc, and haven't
been able to find anything that would point out what's going on. Does anyone
have any ideas or suggestions?

TIA!

- Nick
