Here is the pertinant paragraph:
General Information ===================
<CTRL><ALT><DEL> now performs a cold reboot instead of a warm reboot for increased hardware compatibility. If you want a warm reboot and know it works on your hardware, add a "reboot=warm" command line option in LILO. A small number of machines need "reboot=bios" to reboot via the BIOS.
Note that ./Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt only contains: reboot= [BUGS=ix86]
