Nooo, but if you put
dumpdev="YES"
in /etc/rc.conf
and check that there is something like
# enable dumpdev so that savecore can see it
# /var/crash should be a directory or a symbolic link
# to the crash directory if core dumps are to be saved.
if [ "X${dumpdev}" != X"NO" -a -e ${dumpdev} -a -d /var/crash ]; then
dumpon ${dumpdev}
echo -n checking for core dump...
savecore /var/crash
fi
/etc/rc
then have a look in /var/crash for savecore.? files. Hmm... better ask others
what to do to find out _why_ the kernels panicked (if that is indeed what
happened).
