Google it, it's there.  Oddly it is only on the firmware download page
under fixes, not in the release notes.  Here's the link I got it from:

http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R253040&SystemID=PWE_2950&servicetag=&os=RHEL5&osl=en&deviceid=8735&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=7&catid=36&impid=-1&formatcnt=0&libid=36&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&fileid=370427

But ultimately I that relying on break to pass SysRq is fragile.
Better would be an explicit racadm command.  Since the DRAC5 emulates
a USB keyboard, this should be possible.  Xen, a hypervisor, uses
syntax "xm sysrq X" for this same function.  A similar syntax in the
DRAC5, sending commands via USB, would be robust.
