It is 5.3-RELEASE
show DEV and show CONF output a lot of information. I'm able to do:
show DEV > out
show CONF >> out
cat out | more
and see the out file, but no idea how to get it to you.... (not that familiar with srm).
Exact message is haltcode=5, CPU0 halted. Do you want the 4 character hex # too?
