Umm, try it Warner.  Type "shutdown now" at a root prompt and you will
get:
Enter name of shell or hit return for /bin/sh:

The way you get "hit any key to reboot" is "shutdown -h now", the
semantical equivalent of "halt".

This is all of course moot since the reboot command does indeed belong
in updating for other reasons.
