I dump to da0s1b, it's 96M big.  It's got a companion da1b (not sliced)
that's the same size on the second disk.

Appreciate the help, I don't know what I might be doing wrong.  /etc/rc
keeps on telling me the same thing I get when I go into single user with
now (now preciously hoarded) good kernel single-user and try to save the
kernel dump --- no kernel dump.  When I'm in ddb, and call panic, then
continue, it says it can't get the smp lock, doesn't do the dump at all,
and goes directly to reset.  No dump.
