dumpdev question (probably stupid)

Greetings,
Given that the server that I need to create a dumpdev on has has a
slice dedicated to /var with *more* than adequate space to accommodate
the the resources needed for a dumpdev, as well as everything else in
/var. Is it enough to simply:
# mkdir /var/crash
# chmod 700 /var/crash
and set *dumpdev* in */etc/fstab* as such?:
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad0s1d /var ufs rw 2 2
# dumpdev
/dev/ad0s1d /var/crash ufs sw 0 0
#cdrom
/dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
then bounce the system and *assume* I have a /suitable/ and /useable/
dumpdev available?
Sorry if I have made any ridiculous assumptions, and thank you for your
time.
