Umm, if a reboot wiped everything in memory, then we wouldn't be able to
keep a RAM disk between boots in MacOS. I don't know how much relevance it
has to switching entire OS architectures, but at least in MacOS,
everything's stored until the machine loses power. You can even use MacsBug
to look at memory afer a reboot to possibly recover data.
