>Description:
The rc.conf(5) manual is missing "dumpdir" and "savecore_flags" entries
and this "dumpdev" entry needs updating:
(str) If not set to ''NO'' then point kernel crash-dumps at the swap
device specified as value. When the system restarts, a crash-dump
found on the specified device will typically be stored in the
/var/crash directory by the savecore(8) program.

>How-To-Repeat:

================
>Fix:
dumpdev
(str) If not set to ''NO'' then dumpon(8) is used to cause kernel
crash dumps to be saved in the (usually swap) device specified as
_value_. When the system restarts, a crash dump found on the
specified device will be stored by the savecore(8) program using
"savecore_flags" in the directory specified by the "dumpdir" value.
Not effective unless crash occurs after booting with this set.
See crash(8) manual for related info.
dumpdir
(str) Specifies the directory where a crash dump will be saved by
savecore(8) during a post-crash-dump OS boot (if the directory
exists). See "dumpdev".
savecore_flags
(str) The options (with leading "-") for savecore(8) to use during
post-crash-dump OS boot. See "dumpdev".
