[PATCH 2/2] Inform the user about reboot on panic=



Currently if a system administrator uses "panic=60 break=top" boot
options initramfs prints

Spawning shell within the initramfs

but does not actually spawn the shell since panic= disallows
that. This patch explicitely informs the user about the reboot and
hints that by reminving panic= he/she can get break= debugging to
work.
