Sorry to butt in on this discussion, but warm reboots aren't always
possible.

The motherboard I've got (Gigabyte something) appears to do cold
reboots on reset, seemingly turning everything off. I suppose it employs
a service processor.

My iMac doesn't even have a reset button. Neither does it have a 
serial port, sadly. :I (Would have been nice, since Haiku fails with a
hung, empty white ribbon on blue background, even with a full set
of failsafe options.)
