Beats me - I almost never boot (I hibernate my laptop) and never have used
C-A-D to reboot.  I would think not, though - the problem the poster was
having was that as soon as exiting the single-user shell, the system would
go to runlevel 2 - even if he exited using "init 0" or "init 6". 
Ctrl-alt-del (if set to reboot) would just do "init 6", I would expect.
