Here you go:

============================== Begin code ==============================
DEFINT A-Z

'$INCLUDE: 'qb.bi'       'replace with qbx.bi if you're using PDS

DECLARE SUB Reboot (BootType%)

'***********************************************************************
'* SUB Reboot
'*
'* PURPOSE
'*    Reboots the machine by executing the machine language procedure
'*    located at FFFF:0000.
'*
'* EXTERNAL ROUTINE(S)
'*    QBX.LIB
'*    -------
'*    SUB Absolute (Address%)
'***********************************************************************
SUB Reboot (BootType%) STATIC
   DEF SEG = &H40
   POKE &H72, 0 - ((BootType% = 0) * &H34)   'if BootType% = 0, perform
   POKE &H73, 0 - ((BootType% = 0) * &H12)   '  a warm boot, else a cold boot
   DEF SEG = &HFFFF                          'set segment to bootstrap loader
   Absolute 0                                'do system call
END SUB
=============================== End code ===============================

Set BootType% = 0 to perform a warm boot, or anything else to perform a
cold boot.
