Hi,
I use wd0i as swap device (sharing it with a Linux installation), but
I cannot configure the kernel to use it as dump device.
I have this line in my config:
---------
config netbsd root on ? type ffs dumps on wd0i
---------
I get an error when I try to configure the kernel:
---------
$ /usr/local/tools/bin/nbconfig POLLY
POLLY:229: netbsd: invalid dumps device name `wd0i'
POLLY has no configurations!
*** Stop.
$
---------
If I remove the "dumps on wd0i" in the configuration file it works.
Here's the disklabel of the machine:
---------
.....
10 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
c: 2343751 2993760 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 3168 - 5648*)
d: 8448300 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 8939)
e: 423297 63 MSDOS # (Cyl. 0*- 447)

j: 2727849 5720451 Linux Ext2 0 0 # (Cyl. 6053*- 8939)

Seems to be a bug in the config program?
Btw, this is -current from some weeks ago.
regards,
