Hi.

>From looking at the pcvt and pccons code, neither has any code in it to
really support the CRTL-ALT-DEL key sequence, and do a gracefull reboot
from it.  The pcvt code could be compiled to call cpu_reset(), however,
from another quick check, this does not reboot the system gracefully.

I need a way to gracefully shutdown a NetBSD-1.0/i386 system, and have
given serious thought at calling reboot() from within the pcvt driver,
at the same place it currently calls cpu_reset().

Is there any problems with this?  Aside from the obvious security concerns?
Can reboot() be called from this low a level in the kernel?

Anyone have other ideas?  I need an easy way to shut the system down, even
when the keyboard is locked (maybe running X, etc).  But I would prefer it
not to panic() the system.  Any ideas?
