I'd be more temped to add reboot to ddb than reset to loader. I think every
time I get unknown command from ddb trying to reboot I just halt the machine -
I'm not sure I knew there was a reset command.
I'm happy to make the command sets for these tools more consistent its very
jarring for these commands to not work.
