FASTBOOT(8)             NetBSD 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 and halt the system
     without checking the file systems.  This is done by creating a file
     /fastboot, then invoking the reboot 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),  reboot(8),  rc(8)

     The fastboot command appeared in 4.2BSD.
