/etc/uadmin won't help there, because it only works from the console. However
the system call should work. It takes two arguments (command + function), which
are defined in /usr/include/sys/uadmin.h. Not having the documentation at hand
I guess it should be uadmin(A_SHUTDOWN, AD_BOOT) for you.
Should the new kernel and configuration fail to reach init level 3, you are out
in the cold, but I guess you know that...
