Never mind, I've just found what I needed in man rc.conf, I've now set dumpdev and dumpdir in rc.conf and am rebuilding the kernel with debugging. It's been a long time since I've looked at a core dump, and I don't think I've ever looked at a kernel dump. And now I'm not sure whether I want the system to crash again (so that I can try to figure out what the problem is) or not. Cheers, -j -- Jeffrey Goldberg http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/
