Ever since I upgraded this workstation to 7.0 STABLE, I have been unable to 
reboot with my USB hard drive attached.  During the boot sequence, the device 
is properly detected and identified, but then I get an error message, a crash 
dump and a reboot.  I enabled /var/log/console.log in the hope that I would 
catch the error message, but it doesn't appear in the log.  I also don't have 
any kernel dumps, so I can't trace those to see what the problem might be.

An additional problem that I have is that, during boot, the system says there 
is no dump device available.  This is despite the fact that swap is twice the 
real memory size and /etc/defaults/rc.conf defines dumpdev as auto.  I even 
tried defining dumpdev as the swap partition (in /etc/rc.conf), but nothing 
changed.

I have to be doing something wrong, but I'm at a loss to know what it is.  I've 
rebuilt world and kernel nine times now, in the desparate hope that something 
might have changed in the usb code that would solve this problem.  (Every time 
"#find /usr/src -newer /boot/kernel" returns changes in the usb code, I rebuild 
kernel and world.)

Is there something I can enable that will capture the boot sequence during a 
failed boot while devices are still being detected?

# grep -i umass /var/log/console.log


Any helpful hints would be gratefully appreciated.
