Hello,

There used to be a "dump" directive in the kernel config file (config root on 
XXX swap on YYY dump on ZZZ), but I can't find any trace in our kernel or in 
current config file of NetBSD or OpenBSD (time to resurrect the option ?).

In your case, this kind of hardwired configuration knob would certainly be 
handy (I've looked at the code in dumpon.c : the dump device is selected via 
an IOCTL and not a loader-tunable sysctl flag : too bad).
