>Description:

	The LINT option 'PANIC_REBOOT_WAIT_TIME' is undocumented.

>How-To-Repeat:

	In /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT, see lines 2373 onwards.
	The option is on line 2414 or thereabouts (YMMV).

	(The same option is on line 2641 of the HEAD revision of
	the new NOTES file in CVS.)

>Fix:

	Add the following commentary (more or less translated from
	shutdown_panic() in /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c):

	# Set the amount of time (in seconds) the system will wait
	# before rebooting automatically when a kernel panic occurs.
	# If set to (-1), the system will wait indefinitely until a
	# key is pressed on the console.
