Actually, that won't be enough.  Sorry if I gave that idea.  If you check
/etc/rc.d/dumpon then you'll see that if the script succeeds in telling
the kernel to dump on a given swap partition then it creates the
symlink in the /dev directory.  I couldn't see any other easy way to
check if your kernel had been configured to dump to the swap partition or
not.

Do you have a dumpdev setting in /etc/rc.conf?  Does /etc/fstab list
/dev/ada0p2 as a swap partition?

Thanks for the configuration info.
