I guess it can be done using gdb corefilename

If it is a UNIXWARE system, the OS creates a core dump of system RAM ( after a system crash ) in a partition called SWAP. When the system is booted up after the crash, it will ask you to save the core dump file or not. If you select save in a file, it will prompt  you for the filename. You can specify a filename in "/"partition as all other partitions will be unavailable at this point of time. After booting up successfully, you can use the command " crash <dumpfilename>" and type "panic" afterwards. This will give you a lot info.
