	The first cpu_reset() [i386/machdep.c] method (twiddle reset on
kbd controller) quite reliably hangs two of my motherboards after printing
"rebooting...".

	Commenting that out and letting cpu_reset() try the second method
(triple faulting on bad idt) fixes that problem.

	Perhaps this is related?

Cheers,
Phil
