>Description:
savecore: /netbsd: kvm_dump_mkheader: Pread: Invalid argument

appears in boot messages and is logged to syslog at boot time.
That doesn't look like a good thing.  Most of my reboots lately
have been after I have reset to get out of a hang.  Presumably
I should have been getting a crash dump.  I'd love to at least
have the message buffer.
>How-To-Repeat:
Well, if it doesn't happen when you reboot, I have no idea!

What info should I give you?
>Fix:
No idea.
