RESIN# is routed to pin PORESET# of the CPU (with some reset logic in between).

Try a look at the user manual: MPC860UM 3/2003, REV 2, Table 11-1.MPC860

U-Boot uses the checkstop reset (caused by a machine check after 
trying to execute an instruciton at a non-existing address).

Hope this was somewhat of a help.
