System: NetBSD drowsy.duskware.de 1.5ZC NetBSD 1.5ZC (DROWSY) #0: Fri Apr 19 08:42:35 CEST 2002 martin@insomnia.duskware.de:/usr/src/sys/arch/shark/compile/DROWSY shark
Architecture: arm
Machine: shark
>Description:

Due to the way the bootable kernel is wrapped in aout format, savecore
doesn't work (probably all kvm grovelers will fail).

>How-To-Repeat:

drowsy# savecore /var/crash
savecore: /netbsd: _dumpdev not in namelist
drowsy# nm /netbsd
nm: /netbsd: no symbols

>Fix:
Always copy the elf kernel to / too and make that the default for kvm 
grovelers? Enhance the a.out wrapping?
