I had a machine that was doing this, and wehn I got it to do proper crashdumps, I got a good lead on the problem. in my case, I set aside a raw partition, and setup this in rc.conf: dumpdev="/dev/rda2s1h" # Device name to crashdump to (if enabled). Then I symlinked /var/crash to someplace else, because my /var wasn't too big.
