Description of problem:
I can't cleanly exit the shell of the Fedora Core 5 rescue CD. When I type in
'exit' and hit enter, I see the following:

sh-3.1# exit
logout

...and nothing happens.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot to Fedora Core 5 rescue CD
2. type 'linux rescue' at the prompt and hit ENTER
3. choose language = English
4. choose keyboard = us
5. don't start up network interfaces
6. don't try to find existing installations
7. at the shell prompt, type 'exit' and hit ENTER
  
Actual results:
system hangs after 'logout' is printed to the console

Expected results:
system reboots cleanly

Additional info:
'shutdown -r now' doesn't work, either:

sh-3.1# shutdown -r now
(running in test mode).

Here is a workaround that appears to work: killing the 'init' process with a SIGINT:

sh-3.1# kill -INT 1

Or using an 'init' symlink:

sh-3.1# cd /tmp
sh-3.1# ln -s /bin/init reboot
sh-3.1# ./reboot
