BREAK is an RS-232 signal that you'd send over the serial console. (I am
assuming here that you've been instructed to use SysRq functionality
after a crash). To do it at the keyboard, try Alt+Stop+p. If you have
magic sysrq enabled and that doesn't work, file a bug on the Linux kernel
documentation.
