This works, but it does a cold boot (reset).  Does anyone out there know
the magic to cause a warm boot?  It's the same thing, except if a certain
memory location has the right contents, the memory test, etc. is bypassed.
This bit of PC lore was on the net once, but I managed to lose it.

Many thanks in advance,
