Yes. In 5.x see /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES, in 4.x check
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT

Does this work on both 5.x and 4.x?

Normally it calls reboot(8).

But since this is a function of the syscons(4) driver,
you can disable (accidental) reboots by setting

 SC_DISABLE_REBOOT
This option disables the ``reboot'' key (by default, it is
Ctl-Alt-Del), so that the casual user may not accidentally reboot
the system.

in the kernel config file (great for unattended, publicly
accessible machines!).

On 4.9, it does the same as a shutdown -r now or reboot does. Stops services
then reboots the system same as it does on a dos box.
