I think I just got a panic

But I was running X at the time :( X froze and stayed there for about 10 
seconds or something, then the computer rebooted. Probably a panic?

For whatever it's worth I was just doing a buildworld, X with a couple 
of xterms open (icewm) and I had a samba share mounted. I was ssh'd into 
another machine in one of the xterms and was about to vi /etc/gettytab 
locally when it locked up and rebooted.

I've now set dumpdev in rc.conf. Is that enough to atleast save a dump, 
so I can tell for sure if it was a panic or not, incase it happens again?
