Pretty easy.  call the reboot interrupt.  details in the interrupt list,
wuarchive.wustl.edu, /mirrors/msdos/info/inter291.zip??? , 

It goes kinda like: store $1234 in some address, then call some interrupt.

In pascal goes kinda like: 

var a:word absolute blah;
    regs: registers;
a:=$1234; Intr(bloop,regs);

No problem. Any mistakes are due to finals.
