On a running system, you can put a value in /proc/sys/kernel, and the system
will reboot after that many seconds after a panic. Very useful for a remote
system. (There's an /etc/sysctl.conf setting for this, too.) There's
probably a kernel config option somewhere to make the default be something
other than '0' (which is disabled), which I suppose you'd want to make sure
it's active immediately at boot.
