REBOOT(8)

NAME
reboot - UNIX bootstrapping procedures

SYNOPSIS
reboot [-n] [-q]

DESCRIPTION
Power fail and crash recovery. Normally, the system will reboot itself at power-up or after crashes. An automatic consistency check of the file systems will be performed as described in fsck(8). and unless this fails, the system will resume multi-user operations.

Cold starts The SPARC system currently uses the SunOS bootstrap loaders. This will be changed in a future version of the system. The SunOS boot will attempt to load vmunix from partition A of the boot device, which must currently be an ``sd'' disk.

The [-s] flag to the SunOS boot loader will being the system up in single-user mode. The [-d] flag to the SunOS boot loader will bring the system up in debug mode. Here it waits for a kernel debugger connect; see kgdb(8). Other flags are currently ignored.

BUGS
The use of Sun disk labels, without the ability to write them, is problematic.
