Summary: busybox "reboot/halt" cmds not working

Initial Comment:
In the initrd script: "mount_cdrom", if a CD cannot be
mounted, the script displays an error, waits two
minutes and reboots.  Unfortunately the reboot command
(busybox) appears to do nothing.  I tried manually
creating the link to busybox.  I tried using the full
path "/sbin/reboot".  I also tried the busybox commands
"halt" and "poweroff".  All failed in vmware 4.

To make it appear a little nicer, I removed the "exit"
command after the reboot command in the loop so it just
hangs now instead of returning to linuxrc and crashing
the kernel.  The "exit" command should not be needed
anyway if the reboot command works.
