actually, I believe the kernel we distribute,
if you're at a virtual tty (hit ctrl-alt-f1),
you can hit ctrl-alt-delete and get a reboot.
This is not a clean reboot, and after the reboot,
fsck will have a field day, but it will do what you want
(and is better than hitting the reboot button, since
at least I believe the filesystem will sync).
