:> :I beg to differ. ;-)
:> 
:>     You only need as much as physical ram.  e.g. 1G of ram, 1G on the
:>     dump device (which can be the swap partition).
:
:The man page for dumpon(8) says:
:
:     The size of the specified dump device must be at least 64 KB
:     greater than the size of physical memory.
:
:So I guess either you or the manpage is wrong.

    The manual page is wrong.  I'll fix it.
