Can anyone tell me how to absolutely force a reset on a i386?  Specifically, 
is there a system call that will call the assembly instruction to assert the
RESET bus line? I try to use the "reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_RESTART,0,0,NULL)"
call, but it will not always work. Occassionally, I experience a "missed
interrupt" on a Promise IDE controller, and while I can telnet into the
system, I can't reset it. Any help greatly appreciated! Since these systems
are 1000's of miles away, the need to remotely reset it paramont.
