 Thanks for helping.  The problem for me is that the panic occured very
 early in the boot process, before the dump device is normally configured,
 and no one on the freebsd-help list, nor anyone reading these bug reports
 seemed to know or care enough to help me get a dump device configured
 earlier.  I spent some time going through the source, trying to figure out
 a way to do this, but the time required for me to do this task exceeded
 the amount of time i had to spend on it.
