Hello Stable
  I have an issue with a kernel panic on bootup where the dumpdev loader variable is ignored.  

I rebuilt my 6.4-STABLE amd64 kernel with the following options to try an track down an issue with a patch.

options KDB
options DDB
options GDB
options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER
options INVARIANTS
options INVARIANT_SUPPORT
options WITNESS
options DEBUG_VFS_LOCK

I then built and installed the resulting kernel.debug no issues there

I then set in /boot/loader.conf 

dumpdev="/dev/da0s1b"

When I reboot and crash the box on the new kernel at the db> prompt I cant "call doadump" to work or get an automated one from "continue" both complain about no dumpdev defined . 

Does anyone have a solution for this ?
