Well we kind of need rootfs still to execute GUI restart action. Note
that upon clicking restart, the installer will bring the system down
to plymouth and then ask to remove installation media (cd/usb stick).
Why do you require USB key removal ahead of interacting with GUI restart dialog?
There are options to preceed and automatically go into restart
sequence (bypassing the GUI restart message box) and thus bring down
system to plymouth without any interaction, plymouth will be
displaying message to yank the installation media and reset using any
method (e.g. pressing enter at plymouth, or hard power-cycling the
machine)

I doubt unity restart dialog would work either, if one yanks the hard
drive out =)
