By replacing your console driver. :-)

Nope, the reboot behaviour is described in the keymap.  Load another
one.  This is the line in question:

  083   del    '.'    '.'    '.'    '.'    '.'    boot   boot    N
                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^

Note that you will have to create a new map under
/usr/src/share/syscons/keymaps, all existing maps do have an entry for
`boot'.
