Just pointing me at the right documentation > would be a great help. You need to add 'dumpdev="/dev/XXXXXX"' to /etc/rc.conf. The "XXXX" is the device you are swapping to (well it could be some other device you're not using, but swap is what's normally used). The crash dump will be put in /var/crash. See the dumpon and savecore man pages for details. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Unix/FreeBSD consultant, email for more information.
