I should have mentioned: one easy way to cause reboots is for a desk
accessory to cause a bus error, address error, or anything that gives
bombs.  Bombs make GEMDOS terminate the program currently running, which
is the Desktop if you haven't started anything else.  When the Desktop
terminates, the system reboots (because things are obviously very badly
screwed up).
