If I was able to get to a command line, I'd just use shutdown :) Could
I build up the appropriate struct in gdb and use the sysctl() system
call though?

I think I looked for this and gdb didn't know of a 'reset' symbol. I
found reboot() which takes a uthreads pointer and an args pointer, and
boot() which just takes an int of boot flags (which was the 0 that I
shoved into eax for RB_AUTBOOT).

Thanks,
