The manpage for dumpon seems to be out of date. Adding dump on wd0s2b to the KERNEL config file, gives me a syntax error in that line. And adding the dumpdev to rc.conf is too late as I want the machine to go pop before the filesystems are mounted RW. Any pointers on how I can switch on dumping to the swap partition (/dev/wd0s2b), to be enabled at boot time?
