dumps don't fit on swap with default install

Hi. I installed 9.0-RELEASE on sparc64 with a clean disk using the partition
scheme that was suggested by the installer. I enabled crash dumps (dumpdev="AUTO").
But at boot the dumpon command fails, apparently because the swap partition is
too small.
$ dmesg | grep memory
real memory = 805306368 (768 MB)
avail memory = 762691584 (727 MB)
# swapinfo -h
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity
/dev/ada0b 746424 0B 729M 0%
# dumpon -v /dev/ada0b
/dev/ada0b is smaller than physical memory
There are no minidumps on sparc64. So unless I reinstall there does not appear
to be a way to save crash dumps. Maybe swapon(8) is being overly restrictive, I
don't know.
Cheers
Michiel
