I'm talking about a reboot, not a power failure.

The emergency procedures address that. IIRC you shut the thing off,
wait something like 30 seconds, then restart. What happens after that
depends on the aircraft and the installation. It is possible that the
rebooting can be stopped by simply pulling the circuit breaker of the
offending unit, leaving the rest of the system operational. One of the
advantages of the G1000 over earlier, similar systems like Avidyne is
that you can shut it off and then restart it while still in the air.
This is a vast improvement over the earlier systems which, once you
shut them off, had no way of restarting themselves while the aircraft
was moving.
