I have been managing on a regular basis to make NetBSD-current (not totally
current) to crash. I let the machine go through it's dump procedure and let it
reboot.

Savecore then reports that there is no coredump. What is happening? I would
find the image very useful in performing the post mortem on the machine to find
exactly where my problem lies.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
