    Hello,

    Got this one working :

    LILO: linux init=/sbin/sulogin /dev/ttyS0

    It finally asked me to enter root password, I did my maintenance,
    and then...
    /sbin/reboot did nothing
    leaving the shell (exit) said :
    Attempting to kill init
    Panic, will reboot in 30 seconds.
    (or something like that), but it didn't restart, and I had to reboot
    the machine...
    Is this the expected behaviour ?

    Regards,
    Paul
