my system recently crashed and wrote to the the directory
/var/crash/systemname as directed by the dumpadm command. also i think it
placed the crash dump in my /tmp directory as ps_data. am i wrong?
well my question is what tool do i use to debug the crash dump and savecore
file? catting it just shows up like a binary file.  any info is appreciated.
thanks.

Use crash command (must be root) to examine the dump file.  Man crash
