The problem for me is that the panic occured very early in the boot process, before the dump device is normally configured, and no one on the freebsd-help list, nor anyone reading these bug reports seemed to know or care enough to help me get a dump device configured earlier. I spent some time going through the source, trying to figure out a way to do this, but the time required for me to do this task exceeded the amount of time i had to spend on it. -johan
