Hello,

I am running 14.0-CURRENT using the snapshot from 2021-08-05.  It looks 
as if setting dumpdev="AUTO" in /etc/rc.conf has no effect on enabling 
kernel crash dumps.

root@callisto:~ # dumpon -l
/dev/null

root@callisto:~ # sysrc dumpdev
dumpdev: AUTO

I have to manually enable it via dumpon even though it's set to AUTO in  
rc.conf

root@callisto:~ # dumpon /dev/gpt/swap
root@callisto:~ # dumpon -l
