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. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
