Has any1 made any research/work/hacks on trying to restore/setup the
hwrpb & friends (after a halt/reboot)?

I'm not sure how much difference the use of milo instead of SRM means, but
I checked out NetBSD/Alpha nov last year when it firsted booted on noname's.
And they managed to both halt (got you back to the srm) and reboot (back
to srm and then "autoboot")... Maybe there is some experience/valuable info
in their code that might help us getting the same features on our beloved
Linux? Or is all their code useless when used with milo?
