        A PC is a very different animal from a VM (or LPAR or bare
        metal s/390) instance.  I don't really see how a re-boot
        would be possible w/o stacking something equivalent to
        cp ipl xxx into the hypervisor (for VM).  I'm too feeble
        in knowledge to know how you'd go about doing this on a
        LPAR or the bare metal.
