Your rc(5) appears to be out of date; the current revision is
$Id: rc,v 1.146 1998/06/22 06:34:12 jkoshy Exp $
and it contains the following:
/* begin line 182 */
# enable dumpdev so that savecore can see it  
# /var/crash should be a directory or a symbolic link
# to the crash directory if core dumps are to be saved.
if [ "X${dumpdev}" != X"NO" -a -e ${dumpdev} -a -d /var/crash ]; then
        dumpon ${dumpdev}
        echo -n checking for core dump...
        savecore /var/crash
fi
/* end line 189 */
