Since sysctl(8) grew support for setting dev_t's, dumpon(8) can be reduced to: sysctl kern.dumpdev=$argument Since dumpon(8) is not a standard interface and only appears to be used in /etc/rc, I'd like to change the latter to use sysctl(8) directly and remove dumpon(8) from the tree. The only issue I can see is that there is a lot of relevant information in the dumpon(8) manual page, but most of it is probably more appropriate for the Handbook or crash(8), anyway. If nobody objects, I'd like to move the relevant stuff out of the dumpon(8) manual and proceed to remove the program itself as described above. Thanks.
