The original question was:
Dear managers,
        I'm desperate, my Alpha (v3.2 running osf/1) crash down and it
cannot
start to multi-user mode due to lack of space, this is the message on
single user mode that I got:

Checking for crash dumps
Found an incomlete partial dump
System went down at Wed Sep 3 10:16:42 1997
Dump will be ommited, not enough space on device
The saving of the crash dump to /var/adm/crash failed due to lack of
space....

        The message tell me to run the command /usr/sbin/rcmgr set
SAVECORE_DIR <directory> to change the charge directory but it doesn't
find the rcmgr command, What could I do?

Thanks in advance
R. Betancourt

The solution was:
#...> df
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/rz3a 126462 96960 14854 87% /
/proc 0 0 0 100% /proc

#...> bcheckrc
(To mount all filesystems)
                                                                       
#...> cd /var/adm/crash

#...> ls -l
(Files found in the /var/adm/crash subdirectory)
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 2 Apr 10 17:30 bounds
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 17976 Apr 10 17:32 crash-data.0
-rw-r----- 1 root system 67108864 Apr 10 17:30 vmcore.0
-rw-r----- 1 root system 8023832 Apr 10 17:30 vmunix.0

#...> rm vmcore.0
#...> rm vmunix.0
(Delete old files vmcore.0 and vmunix.0 to make space in /var/adm/crash)
You can save them in another filesystem for future check.

#...> ^d
(To reboot)

        Thanks again for you help.
