Will that enable a 64GB dump?  In 8.1, dumpon(8) says:

     The dumpon utility is used to specify a device where the kernel
     can save a crash dump in the case of a panic.
     ...
     For most systems the size of the specified dump device must be
     at least the size of physical memory.
     ...
     The dumpon utility will refuse to enable a dump device which is
     smaller than the total amount of physical memory as reported by
     the hw.physmem sysctl(8) variable.

Note the use of the singluar:  "a device" and "the specified device".
