Same with my Micronics 486/33-EISA motherboard.  The kernel code for rebooting
appears to implicitly force a reboot (at least, for most people :-) by walking
over processor tables, rather than being direct and getting the keyboard
controller to do it (the way my UNIX SVR4 does it).  Once I get the hang of
what to tell this controller, I'll try to fix it!
