If the kernel panics, and saves a dump in the swap area, you will see
messages like these during the next boot:
dumpon: crash dumps to /dev/ad0s3b (116, 262145)
Checking for core dump:
savecore: reboot after panic: bremfree: bp 0xc2140484 not locked
savecore: system went down at Mon Nov 19 13:58:31 2001
Then in /var/crash you will find the dump files, named kernel.N and
vmcore.N, where `N' is a number.
