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

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)

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.

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.

Update instructions for setting the dump device prior to multi-user
mode.

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$

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.

Use the .Fx macro where appropriate.

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.

My utility to specify where you want crash dumps to go. More user
and kernel support to follow.
