Try man savecore.

The var SAVECORE_FLAGS would then be set to flag that folows savecore,

i.e. savecore -M

would be set by

/usr/sbin/rcmgr set SAVECORE_FLAGS M

using man savecore......
  The default location for saving crash dump files is /var/adm/crash. To
  modify the default location, issue the following command:

  /usr/sbin/rcmgr set SAVECORE_DIR directory

  The default behavior of savecore is to return to single-user mode if it is
  unable to save a core dump because of insufficient filesystem space. This
  feature can be disabled as follows:

  /usr/sbin/rcmgr set SAVECORE_FLAGS M

Look in the comments at the beginning of the savecore script itself
(/sbin/rc2.d/S00savecore).

Check out the /sbin/init.d/savecore script.  Apparently the only flags are:
#
# savecore flags:
#
#       M - Boot to multi-user even if savecore is unable to save a
#           good dump due to lack of space.  This will potentially
#           corrupt the dump due to swapping.  By default, the system
#           will return to single-user mode so that corrective action
#           may be taken.
#
#       P - Preserve the dump if the saving of the crash dump fails.
#           By default the dump is cleared when the saving of the dump fails.
#
Hope that helps.
