What are the correct
        - console variables
        - button presses
        - console commands
to force a proper UNIX crash dump from a hung Alphaserver 1000?

|     I like to force a panic by setting the "hz" global to 0
    
    	# dbx -k /vmunix
    	(dbx) assign hz=0
    
    If you can get to the console prompt ">>>" then you can enter the
    console command "crash"
    
    	>>> crash
    
    You can also see the "Kernel Debugging" manual.
