Kernel dump during boot

[Johannes Totz]

Hey everyone,

is there a way to dump the kernel from DDB?
I've got a panic during boot, before init is started but after geom and 
friends are up. So dumpdev hasnt been set yet.
Can I hardcode it somewhere? Setting kern.shutdown.dumpdevname in 
loader.conf doesn't seem to work.
Searching around I found some old messages that say it's not possible. 
Is that still the case?


Thanks,

Johannes
