I am sorry, I have not. I tried to call doadump, but there was no  
dumpdevice configured :-(

Somehow I have convinced myself that this was turned on by default  
now, so I have not enabled it explicitly in rc.conf. Is there any way  
to tell DDB what dumpdevice to use directly?

I will configure a dumpdevice and try really hard to make it happen  
again.
