FASTBOOT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual FASTBOOT(8)NAME
fastboot, fasthalt — reboot/halt the system without checking the disks
SYNOPSISfastboot [boot-options]
fasthalt [halt-options]
DESCRIPTIONfastboot and fasthalt are shell scripts which reboot or halt the system,
and when next started, the system will skip the normal the file systems
checks. This is done by creating a file /fastboot, then invoking the
reboot(8) program. The system startup script, /etc/rc, looks for this
file and, if present, skips the normal invocation of fsck(8).
