Why not?  IIUC triple fault is exported as a cpu pin, which the 
chipset/motherboard wires into the board-level reset line.

I think the bios can expect the IDE hardware (or any other device) to be 
quiescent on entry.  It doesn't make sense to initiate an explicit reset 
immediately after boot; that would slow things down.
