Fast Reboot is a command-line feature that enables you to reboot an x86 based system, bypassing the firmware and boot loader processes. Fast Reboot implements an in-kernel boot loader that loads the kernel into memory and then switches to that kernel so that the reboot process occurs within seconds. This feature is implemented on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels.
*Starting with the OpenSolaris 2010.03 release, Fast Reboot and Panic Fast Reboot are the default operating mode.*

The Fast Reboot default behavior is implemented through a new boot configuration service, {{svc:/system/boot-config}}. This service provides a means for setting or changing the default boot configuration parameters on x86 based systems.

For example, to disable the Fast Reboot default behavior, you would type:
 
{code}
# svccfg -s "system/boot-config:default" setprop config/fastreboot_default=false
