Is crash dumping supported onto a gmirror swap partition?

Is it possible to save crashdumps onto a gmirror device?
I'm trying to understand why one of my systems (being upgraded from
5.3BETA4 to 5.3) is sponteously rebooting.
The first step seems to be to try to get a crash dump, but:
(merlin)[5:16pm]~>>sudo dumpon -v /dev/mirror/gm0s1b
Password:
dumpon: ioctl(DIOCSKERNELDUMP): Operation not supported
(merlin)[5:16pm]~>>
Is the problem that one can't dump onto a gmirror'ed device, or is
there something else that I'm missing.
I'm running a default kernel, w/ an 'options smp' added.
