Yes.
1. If you did set dumpdev from loader prompt or from /boot/loader.conf,
and you didn't configured it in rc.conf, then this choice will be
applied by geom_dev. Then it will be applied again by rc.d/dumpon.
2. If you did set dumpdev from loader prompt or from /boot/loader.conf,
and you did configured it in rc.conf, then first of will be selected
dumpdev from loader, then will be selected one from rc.conf.
3. If you didn't set dumpdev from loader prompt or from
/boot/loader.conf, and you didn't configured it in rc.conf, then one of
swap partition will be selected.
In the end we can see, if we apply the following patch, then nothing
will be affected.

PS. loader(8) has many variables where device name is used, and none of
them uses /dev/ prefix.
