freebsd stable - Nov 2007 - USB memory stick as dump device

Hi,
is it possible to use USB memory stick as dump device for panic dumps? I have
a 6.2 box with gmirrors and no non-gmirror disks. I have never managed to get
dumps work onto the swap partition on the mirror. So...is it possible to use
USB stick as a dump device or should I not even try that?

I don't think that will work currently.
