Now, thanks to some advice given by members of this list, last time it
happened I pressed the halt button and at the SRM prompt I issued the crash
command. Here is the result:

>>>crash

CPU 0 restarting

CP - RESTORE_TERM routine to be called

DUMP: 2048000 blocks available for dumping.
DUMP: 38258 wanted for a partial compressed dump.
DUMP: Allowing 2043902 of the 2047998 available on 0x808001
device string for dump = SCSI 0 16 0 0 0 0 0.
DUMP.prom: dev SCSI 0 16 0 0 0 0 0, block 1024000
DUMP: Header to 0x808001 at 2047998 (0x1f3ffe)
device string for dump = SCSI 0 16 0 0 0 0 0.

succeeded
CP - RESTORE_TERM exited with hlt_req = 0, r0 = 00000001.00000000

halted CPU 0

halt code = 0
PC = fffffc0000485278
>>>

As you may guess, from this point on, I'm completely stuck. Any hints as to
how to continue?

TIA,
cl.
