# That explains it.  libkvm is using /netbsd (or /var/db/kvm.db, which is

Whatever happened to using "savecore -N netbsd.TEST /var/crash"?
I thought the whole idea was to be able to savecore an arbitrarily-
booted kernel.

If not, we should get the -N out of there -- or, better, not make it
depend on what libkvm thinks is current reality.

Don't get me wrong, libkvm is probably a very sane idea.  But it doesn't
seem to allow very well for testing.
