Further information:

According to the Green Book, AUTO_ACTION determins the "Console action
following an error halt or powerup."

Take a look at prom_halt() in alpha/prom.c.  As far as I know, it does
all of the right things to make sure that a halt or reboot happens
properly.  (Note that it's _not_ appropriate to set the OH flag,
because, at least according to the green book, that's set _by_ the
console, not for the console.)
