Well, I can set dumpdev in ddb, but the problem is that when I reboot
that savecore doesn't detect a dump.
If I boot the system completely and manually panic and let it dump
savecore will detect the dump and put it in /var/crash.
So I wonder what I forgot in DDB.
I do:
db> show disk/ad0s1b
0xc0NNNNNN
I then use this value to:
db> write dumpdev 0xc0NNNNNN
dumpdev = ffffffff -> 0x0cNNNNNN
I can then dump when typing:
db> panic
But after the reboot savecore doesn't recognise the dump.
savecore: no coredump
Hope this makes it a bit more clear.
