I wonder why you would want to do a cold boot in GFA-basic, but I think
this will do it:

Slpoke &H420,0          ! Clear Memvalid (makes next boot COLD)
Void Gemdos(32,L:0)     ! Go in to supervisor mode
'                          you can void the result, since there is
'                          no return form a reset
Reset%=Lpeek(4)         ! Get reset vector
Call Reset%             ! Jump there
