I'm trying to set up for kernel coredump saving. I want to dump to /dev/wd0s1b -- this is my swap partition. But I'm not sure how to do this, I try adding "dumps on wd0s1" in the kernel config file, but when the kernel panic's, it always says "invalid device 0:131073" (sorry, this message is being typed from memory). How do I set this up properly? any help greatly appreciated. I'd prefer setting it up in the kernel config file, so that if the kernel crashes BEFORE booting begins, a crashdump will still be saved. (if you use the dumpon command, this won't catch this) Thanks for your help!
