>Description:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html#KERNELDEBUG-OBTAIN. The second paragraph of "Configuring the Dump Device" is as follows:
Alternatively, the dump device can be hard-coded via the dump clause in the
config(5) line of a kernel configuration file. This approach is deprecated and
should be used only if a kernel is crashing before dumpon(8) can be executed.
It's more than deprecated. Running "config" off a kernel configuration file with "config dump <device>" included results in a "root/dump/swap specification obsolete" error.
