I'm not sure this works in all situations. It should be reasonably
safe doing an installworld without a reboot as long as you are not
doing anything else and reboot after the installworld completes. In
fact, I would expect that to work most of the time so I'd rather not
have people go through an extra 60 second step by default.

:Also changes mention of mergemaster to match our current
