Core dumps are related to faults in user-level processes.  If you're
seeing reboots, user-level processes are (almost certainly) not to blame.

Instead, you're very likely seeing kernel panics.  The utility you want
is "dumpadm".  Typically, messages related to panics will show up in
/var/adm/messages, and the files are dumped in /var/crash.
