Wondering: would it make sense for savecore to run asynchronously,
rather than waiting for it to complete before continuing with the rest
of system startup?
does this work for you:
echo "savecore_flags='&'" >> /etc/rc.conf
?
traditionally savecore runs early before swapping start

What type of device are you dumping on, then.
My 8GB machine..

The savecore during boot isn't a problem. fsck and quota

However, if we can come up with a way to reliably notice if that

Only for a dedicated dump device that is not also used for swap. You

On sd, it dumps about 3MB/s, making 4GB take ~20 minutes.
Some sort of flash device would be nice.
Probably not really answering the question, but:
