This is strange; looking at the code responsible for the sync on
panic, it should not print the message "syncing disks" when
sync_on_panic is set to zero(i.e. (bootopt & RB_NOSYNC) != 0).

As for dump feature on ips driver, sorry I haven't had enough time
to port it. I asked Scott Long many months ago for his work-in-progress
dump patch(which has already been committed on FreeBSD 5.x+), and he gave
it to me, but I couldn't finish porting it then. I'm still trying to find
time to work on it though.
