[ale] reboot problem

[Jonathan Glass]

Should be.  WHen the RH rescue mode comes up, the instructions tell you
how to manipulate the system in a chroot environment.  It should be that
easy, though.

I don't have a linux box here to test this on, but this is how I've done
in the past.

Thanks
Jonathan
