How does one completely reboot a PC/XT/AT from software control?

Before you say "... use interrupt hex 19 ...", please note that the
BIOS bootstrap service accessed via interrupt hex 19 is not a complete
reboot.  It just loads the boot segment from drive A: and executes it.

What I want is the reboot that occurs when one presses Ctl-Alt-Del
(without using hard coded addresses which could be BIOS dependent).

Anyone have any ideas?

If I get a solution, I'll post it to the net.  Thanks all in advance.
