There HAS to be some way to do the reboot without the hang on the
"press any key to reboot" msg: running fsck -b on the root partition
returns the msg SYSTEM WILL REBOOT AUTOMATICALLY, and the reboot
starts without requiring ANY user intervention, no pause for pressing
a key, or anything.  Probably whatever call fsck -b makes is what the
party wants...  perhaps some variant of the uadmin(2) call?
