I've done some research for a friend about when the reboot() system call was added,
and how it related to the sync, sync, sync dance.
I remember that Piet Beertema (CWI) added a reboot command to our
unix V7 on the 11/45. I just asked him and he said that it he did
it because he was tired to walk to the computer room. It was way
more work then he at first expected.
Whether this was picked op by the Berkeley people he doesn't know,
but it could be.
