[net.micro.pc] how to boot a PC with an interrupt call

reintom@rocky2.UUCP (Tom Reingold) (06/17/86)

A little while back, people were posting little assembly language
programs that rebooted an IBM PC.  It had only one or two
instructions and could be created with DEBUG.  Now I can use one
and can't find any references.  Can someone offer the information
on how it's done?

Thanks.

Try jumping to FFFF:0.  That's all it take.
