Where do crash dumps go on V/386 ?

   I managed to panic my 386 system running V/386 while operating a
1500 watt amateur radio transmitter beside the computer. (Funny how
little things like this can bother it!) :-)  It came up telling me
it was saving a "crash" or "image" file containing 1532 pages. Then
waited for me to re-boot it.  Question:  where did it put this file ?
I assume it dumped it somewhere to disk ?  I would like to remove it.

   I used to operate my old 286 running V/AT under the same circumstances.
Guess its time to break out the ferrite beads and chokes
and go RF-proofing! With this kind of near-field, it is very sensitive
to cable placement. The 286 paniced until I re-arranged the I/O cables.....
but thats another story for another Newsgroup. :-)
