you can configure your kernel to use an alternate dump device
(in the <tt>config kernel</tt> line), or
you can specify an alternate using the dumpon(8) command.
The best way to use dumpon(8) is to set the <tt>dumpdev</tt>
variable in <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt>. Typically you want to specify
one of the swap devices specified in <tt>/etc/fstab</tt>.
Dumps to non-swap devices,
tapes for example, are currently not supported. Config your
kernel using <tt>config -g</tt>.
