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).
