3676d4b6e2 It has not been possible to specify a dumpdev in loader.conf since 2002,
so don't raise false hopes here.

8340d5bcae Bring the dumpon(8) man page closer to reality:
- dumpon utility has not used kern.dumpdev sysctl
      since rev. 1.14 (sbin/dumpon/dumpon.c) when phk@
      updated it to use the DIOCSKERNELDUMP ioctl [1]
    - remove obsolete reference to sysctl(3)

While I am there, fix two style nits:

    - use .Nm instead of `dumpon'
    - change NOTES to IMPLEMENTATION NOTES, to bring
      it in line with recommended section headings in
      mdoc(7)

dcd7d9b7b7 Allow dump device be configured as early as possible using loader(8) tunable.
This allows obtaining crash dumps from the panics occured during late stages
of kernel initialisation before system enters into single-user mode.

d9a9b8dbb6 * Clarify text on choosing a dump device
* Remove the text which states only devices with minor number 1 can be used
  - this is no longer true.
* Mention that dumpon(8) cannot be used to capture dumps from panics during
  kernel initialization.
* /dev/wd -> /dev/ad

fd5075e5c6 Back out the new advice introduced in the previous commit, which at
least one reviewer is now unhappy with, since it contains incomplete
and misleading advice that is not easy to correct.

The net effect of this commit and the previous commit is to simply
remove all discussion of setting dumpdev to catch crash dumps
prior to entering user mode.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

4bd9ba3c2f Fixed some minor formatting problems to silence manck some more.
Corrected some bogus cross references to man pages that we don't/won't
have and either deleted them, or found a more appropriate man page
that we do have.  Various other minor changes to silence manck.

Manck is currently down to about 200 lines of errors, down from
the 500 - 600+ when I started all this.
