What you probably want to use here is RS, RB only unmounts the startup
volume before before restarting. RS will unmount all volumes.

For a non-programmer there are probably only a few that are useful.
G -resumes program execution (this usually does not work when a crash drops
you into MacsBug because you are trying to resume a crashed program)
EA -exits application, if you crash you can kill of the offending app with
this (but not always) and be sent back to the finder.
ES -will put you back into the finder (usually won't work after a crash)
RS -for restarting
You can accomplish much of the same by force quitting an app from the
finder that has crashed (depending on circumstance) Hit: esc, tab, option,
command (open apple)
If you are determined to use MacsBug there is manual although it is written
for v6.2 and is aimed at programmers it's avail from Apple or Adison
Wesley. (MacsBug Reference and Debugging Guide) I think it's around 25.00
now.
>All Macs allow you to dump back into the Finder if you have a crash.
Unfortunately it only works about 20% of the time. ;)
>After the crash, hit Shift+Apple+Your Power On Button to bring up the DeBug

These commands wont work with MacsBug installed and are ment to be used at
the programmers interrupt. G and RS from Macsbug will attempt the same
things.
Good Luck,
