No idea, the best is to configure the machine to save the dump and
after (if it happens again) submit a trace of the core dump.

This is explained in :

Boot a cd, then copy your files to another system, or to removable media.

try to find if da0s1a is the right disk:

`lsdev' may help

then `set currdev disk'

and check the content of the current disk with `ls'

Boot with a FreeBSD installation or live CD/DVD and mount the home partition and
burn the files on a CD or DVD, or copy them with scp to an other system or 
mount a
remote filesystem like CIFS/Samba/NFS and copy the files on that filesystem.

Or restore them from your most recent backup :)

Just type "?" to get the possible values. If this not help use the
livefs cd to start a shell and mount the disk.
