FreeBSD jhome.DIALix.COM 2.0-BUILT-19950703 FreeBSD 2.0-BUILT-19950703 #11: Mon Jul  3 04:17:24 WST 1995     pwroot@jhome.DIALix.COM:/usr/src/sys/compile/JHOME  i386

>Description:

/etc/rc checks the setting of $dumpdev, and skips it if it's set to
NO.  The matching sysconfig file however, doesn't set it.
/etc/rc then runs dumpon ${dumpdev} (because it's not "NO")
and causes usage errors during startup.

>How-To-Repeat:

install distributed sysconfig file (and customize it for your host
of course.. :-)

>Fix:
	
Something like this might be appropriate..
