DESCRIPTION

The fastboot and fasthalt commands are shell scripts which reboot and halt the
system without checking the file systems.  This is done by creating a file
<LOCAL>/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.
