Hi,

whilst su'ed I tried to mount the fd0 device and found a way to let the
system reboot after a panic.

as root

cd /
mkdir fd0 (if not already existing)
mount fd0 fd0

The system panics and reboots.

Mayhaps if there would be some sort of checking the recursion of the
operation so that it won't try to complete the command endlessly.

Hope this helps someone out there, I think it can be reproduced with other
devices too.

For the sake of making a perfect product even better,
