; Here is a source code listing of the only supported reboot code:
;

*   NAME
*       ColdReboot - Official code to reset any Amiga (Version 2)
*
*   SYNOPSIS
*       ColdReboot()
*       void ColdReboot(void);
*
*   FUNCTION
*       Reboot the machine.  All external memory and peripherals will be
*       RESET, and the machine will start its power up diagnostics.
*
*       Rebooting an Amiga in software is very tricky.  Differing memory
*       configurations and processor cards require careful treatment.  This
*       code represents the best available general purpose reset.  The
*       MagicResetCode must be used exactly as specified here. The code
*       _must_ be longword aligned.  Failure to duplicate the code EXACTLY
*       may result in improper operation under certain system configurations.
*
*   RESULT
*	This function never returns.
