[G4] Sonnet Encore install

[Nathan Gable]

I don't think the little button is for CUDA reset.  I think it's a 
PMU (power management unit) button that will reset the chip that 
manages all the powered functions of the computer.  There are special 
instructions on how to do that and if not followed you risk killing 
the battery.

If you wanted to reset the logic board (which is what the CUDA chip 
did in the older machines), you should unplug the computer and take 
the battery out for about 10 minutes.
