Here is the assembly language code for both warm and cold boot
simulators.  I trust that translating into C wouldn't be too difficult
for your particular compiler....

warm boot:
	MOV	AX,0040
	MOV	DS,AX
	MOV	AX,1234
	MOV	[0072],AX
	JMP	FFFF:0000

cold boot:
	JMP	FFFF:0000

This was posted not so long ago to one of these comp.os.msdos.* news
groups (thank you, whoever originally posted it) and I have both
assembled into .COM files, and they work.  You can even construct them
using DEBUG, if you know how (remember to set the CX register before
writing).

Have a nice day :-) !
