    Unless it panics in the boot and never loads the first startup file you
    can execute the blank disable there.

    There should be a lot of things, including writing the dump to a disk
    partition like AIX, Solaris, etc, etc. That never got in, either. I'd
    rather see the blank disable as a configurable boot time option, so people
    who don't want it don't get it, and vice-versa.
