The dumpon and sysctl man pages refer to the loader variable "dumpdev" and
sysctl "kern.dumpdev" as a method of setting the dump device before boot.

It seems that this method is no longer available.

Remove the references to dumpdev.

 Sorry, I mucked up.  I was referring to this in dumpon.8:
 
       Since dumpon cannot be used during kernel initialization, the  
 dumpdev
       variable of loader(8) must be used to enable dumps for system  
 panics
       which occur during kernel initialization.
 
 But it has already been removed (I didn't check the most current man  
 pages).  In sysctl.8, I think these mentions should still be removed:
 
       kern.dumpdev			      dev_t	    yes
 
 ... ... ...
 
       The device used for crash dumps can be specified using:
 
             sysctl kern.dumpdev=/dev/somedev
 
       which is equivalent to
 
             dumpon /dev/somedev
