>Description:

/boot/defaults/loader.conf, based on comments in the dumpon(8)
manpage, should have a line something like this (in the "Kernel
settings" section ?):

#dumpdir="special_file" # Tell kernel to crash-dump to "special_file" (eg, /dev/ad0s1b). See dumpon(8)

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Add the line.

State-Changed-When: Tue Mar 9 20:36:33 UTC 2010 
State-Changed-Why:  
According to r135973 the documentation was incorrect and setting the dump device 
from loader(8) hasn't been supported since 2002.
