FASTBOOT(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					       FASTBOOT(8)

NAME
     fastboot, fasthalt -- reboot/halt the system without checking the disks

SYNOPSIS
     fastboot [boot-options]
     fasthalt [halt-options]

DESCRIPTION
     fastboot and fasthalt are shell scripts which reboot or halt the system, and when next started, the system will skip the normal the file sys-
     tems 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).

SEE ALSO
     halt(8), rc(8), reboot(8)
