 Hi, the configuration section states:
 
 "By default, kernel dumps generated on panic or	via explicit requests 
 for a dump will be regular memory dumps; how-ever, by using the	textdump 
 set command in	ddb(4),	or by setting the debug.ddb.textdump.pending 
 sysctl to 1 using sysctl(8), it is possible to request that the next 
 dump be a textdump."
 
 when you call doadump, the textdump is created, it's not possible to set 
 the type after requesting a dump because the dump happens there & then 
 on call.
 
 On 10.0-RELEASE TEXTDUMP_PREFERRED is honored.
 Entering the debugger & running call doadump outputs
 textdump: creating 'ddb.txt'.
 textdump: creating 'config.txt'.
 textdump: creating 'msgbuf.txt'.
 textdump: creating 'msgbuf.txt'.
 textdump: creating 'version.txt'.
 Textdump complete.
