For all you who requested the magic code for warm/cold booting your PC
from software, here it be:

int (far *reboot)() = (int(far *)())0xFFFF0000;
void main()
{
	unsigned far *warm;

	warm = 0x472;
	*warm = 0x1234;
	(*reboot)();
}
Note that if you set *warm to any other value it should do a cold boot.
