I'm using 10.99.10 with a raidframe mirror for swap/dump and it works.
I'm now using GPT everywhere, but have previously used disklabels
successfully.

I forget why I have separate lines for "sw" and "dp", but that seems to be
the main difference in our config.  Maybe try that and see if it works
for you?

Also, does this show that you have a valid dump device configured with your
current fstab config?

   thoreau 56984> swapctl -z
   dump device is dk8

Simon.
