- There's an option in SMIT (I believe it's System Environments,
- Change Operating System Characteristics menu) which will cause the
- machine to automatically reboot after a system crash. If the
- debugger is enabled, then typing in "go" or "quit" should also
- do the trick after this option is enabled.
