.I would think "potential kernel hackers" would already know this.
actually, i'd disagree; remember, 386bsd and NetBSD are
hitting audiences who perhaps had never even *thought* of
hacking a kernel, or doing any form of sysad work (another
place where you might need to deal with kernel crash dumps,
if unlucky... 8-) before!
i agree with the original poster that that was an omission
in the install doc. that's why i've added it. 8-)
it's still annoying that if your dump partition is on
a SCSI disk, you can't do crash dumps; the sd code currently
doesn't support it...
