   A 'ps' would help, but what would *really* help would be a kernel core...
It's set up to dump, but won't write core to /dev/ar0b.  Unless 
others have had success with Promise cards, I suspect the problem 
is every partition (including swap) is hanging off of a Promise 
RAID controller.  dumpdev is set, but it just doesn't write the 
kernel core as if it weren't.

BTW, how would one go about setting the dump device in DDB (the 
system hangs before it even comes up into multi-user)?  Is it just 
a matter of setting kern.dumpdev?  Hmmm major minor... how would 
that actually look in DDB or loader.conf?

Anyway, for now I'm happy with not running w/ACPI.  If it helps, 
here's a "ps ax" -- nothing unusual, running 3 jails with postfix, 
named...
