>Environment:


System: NetBSD speedy.whooppee.com 9.99.46 NetBSD 9.99.46 (SPEEDY 2020-02-07 16:26:35 UTC) #1: Fri Feb 7 19:37:58 UTC 2020 paul@speedy.whooppee.com:/build/netbsd-local/obj/amd64/sys/arch/amd64/compile/SPEEDY amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
While trying to debug another problem, I booted a new kernel, amd64
9.99.52, and created a crash dump.  After rebooting back into my
working 9.99.46 system I tried to save the crash dump using

	# savecore -N /netbsd.new.gdb
	savecore: dumpdev /dev/constty is tty; override kernel


>How-To-Repeat:
see above

>Fix:
Please
