--- Comment #1 from Ed Maste <emaste at freebsd.org> ---
>From rc.conf(5):

     dumpdev     (str) Indicates the device (usually a swap partition) to
                 which a crash dump should be written in the event of a system
                 crash.  If the value of this variable is "AUTO", the first
                 suitable swap device listed in /etc/fstab will be used as
                 dump device.  Otherwise, the value of this variable is passed
                 as the argument to dumpon(8).  To disable crash dumps, set
                 this variable to "NO".

Can you confirm that setting dumpdev=/dev/ada0p4 addresses the issue?


What we probably need to do is change the logic to:

If the value of this variable is "AUTO", the first dump device listed in
/etc/fstab will be used, or the first suitable swap device if no dump device is
found.
