m/n/installer: reboot on fatal errors

Currently irrecoverable errors are handled by log.Fatal, which calls
os.Exit after printing the error message. As this kills the init
process, it leads the kernel to panic and print a long call trace,
obscuring the true cause of trouble. The kernel then reboots
immediately, as it is configured to do so, making it impossible to
read the logs off the screen when using a graphical console.

This patch makes the installer hang after displaying status
information.
