We probably only see this for i?86 because this seems to be the only
time where people try to chroot. On most other hardware you'd typically
reboot. This really only needs to be addressed under i?86, mips32,
sparc32, and possibly ppc? I've thought this has needed to be in the
book for a while aswell, I just have never gotten around to making the
change.
