I have a 3.1R "play" box at home that panics about once a week.  I decided
to try and catch a dump, so I followed directions in Chapter 22 of
the Handbook.  (After 5 years of owning and working on a FreeBSD server, I
have *never* needed a dump file before.  Gota love stability.)

Specificly, I used "config -g", set dumpdev="/dev/wd1s1b", compiled the
kernel, saved a copy as /kernel.debug, stripped it with "strip -g kernel"
then did a "make install."

On boot, 2 error messages appeared which bothered me.  Couldn't find an
info in handbook, man pages, or mail archives.  These anything to be
worried about?

savecore /kernel _dumpdev not in namelist
...
kvmm_mkdb: /kernel stripped inappropriate file type or format
