I will get that started on one of the boxes ASAP.

Do I need to define dumpdev in rc.conf as well? Also, after the machine
reboots after the crash, I can access the kernel dump with DDB by
dropping to debug mode? (via the sysctl or keyboard per the handbook and
assuming the DDB_UNATTENDED preserves the information upon reboot into
multi-user)
