That's happening because of the way iSeries works with Linux. Though the CD
is not there, the kernel is copied into the C slot and OS/400 uses the
contents of the slot as the boot image. So the CDs presence or absence
makes no difference on the reboot command....

Interesting situation. How could it run the installation without any
installation media? Is it booting off of the network perhaps?
