via Magic Sysrq + number (e.g., alt-sysrq-9)
or via (as root) "echo 9 > /proc/sysrq-trigger"
or via (as root) "echo 9 4 1 7 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk"
(first "cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk" and increase the first value).

For the first one, you need a kernel that has
CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y
and also has /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq = 1
(echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq # to enable it)
