I haven't had a panic for quite a while until this morning, and was
surprised to see it boot up without savecore(8) grabbing the dump.=20

I have a feeling that I have configured my kernel incorrectly - should I
have KDB_UNATTENDED to have dumpon work?

Here is dumpdev setting from rc.conf, swapinfo and kernel conf:

> $ grep dump /etc/rc.conf=20
dumpdev=3D"/dev/ad4s3b"
tom@zoot '15:52:07' '/usr/home/tom'
> $ swapinfo
