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.
