Using Fast Reboot (Task Map)

Task	Description	For Instructions
Initiate a fast reboot of a SPARC based system.	Use the `reboot` command with the `-f` option to initiate a fast reboot of the system.	How to Initiate a Fast Reboot of a SPARC Based System
Initiate a fast reboot of an x86 based system.	Because Fast Reboot is the default boot mode in this release, you can use either the `reboot` or the `init 6` command to initiate a fast reboot of the system.	How to Initiate a Fast Reboot of an x86 Based System
Initiate a fast reboot of an x86 based system to a boot entry other than the default.	To reboot to a specific GRUB boot entry, use the `reboot` `n` command, where `n` is the number of the BE that you want to boot.	x86: How to Fast Reboot a System to the `n`th Entry in the GRUB `menu.lst` File
Initiate a fast reboot of an x86 based system by specifying an alternate BE.	You can fast reboot an x86 based system to an alternate BE by specifying the BE with the `reboot` command.	x86: Initiating a Fast Reboot of a System by Specifying an Alternate Boot Environment
Perform a slow reboot of a system.	Use the `reboot` command with `-p` option to perform a slow reboot of the system.	Performing a Slow Reboot of a System
Configure the default behavior for the Fast Reboot feature on the SPARC or x86 platform, and the Panic Fast Reboot feature on the x86 platform.	On the SPARC platform, Fast Reboot behavior is disabled by default. You can configure the `boot-config` service to perform a fast reboot of a SPARC based system by default. On the x86 platform, Fast Reboot and Panic Fast Reboot features are enabled on your system by default and are managed by the `boot-config` service. You can optionally disable either or both of these features.	Managing the Boot Configuration Service
Debug an early panic that might occur on an x86 based system.	Because the `boot-config` service has dependencies on the multiuser milestone, early panics on a system can occur. To debug possible early panics on the x86 platform, you can patch the global `fastreboot_onpanic` variable in the `/etc/system` file.	x86: Debugging Early Panics That Might Occur
Troubleshoot conditions that might prevent the Fast Reboot feature from working.	Under certain conditions, the fast reboot capability on the x86 platform does not work as expected. In some situations, a workaround is available.	x86: Troubleshooting Conditions That Might Prevent Fast Reboot From Working
