 PC>> SU from SIO also has a boot feature.  I've never used it though.

 PC>> hmmm... just tried it and it doesn't seem to do anything.  I have
 PC>> removed all DOS drivers from my config.sys and am running
 PC>> PROTECTONLY=YES, maybe that's why?

 hl>> Sounds like you removed the DEVICE=x:\OS2\BOOT\DOS.SYS line too.
 hl>> That OS/2 device driver is needed by the rebooting software, so
 hl>> put it back.

 PC> Yes, I did remove DOS.SYS, what else does it provide besides
 PC> rebooting?

FAIK, nothing else.  Look at the size of the thing...

 PC> I have not had any problems without it.

See above: you couldn't reboot under software control.

groetjes,
