The default, causing the system to reboot in its usual fashion.
RB_ASKNAME
Interpreted by the bootstrap program itself, causing it to prompt on the console as to what file should be booted. Normally, the system is booted from the file "xx (0,0)kernel", where xx is the default disk name, without prompting for the file name.
RB_DFLTROOT
Use the compiled in root device. Normally, the system uses the device from which it was booted as the root device if possible. (The default behavior is dependent on the ability of the bootstrap program to determine the drive from which it was loaded, which is not possible on all systems.)
RB_DUMP
Dump kernel memory before rebooting; see savecore(8) for more information.
RB_HALT
the processor is simply halted; no reboot takes place. This option should be used with caution.
RB_POWEROFF
After halting, the shutdown code will do what it can to turn off the power. This requires hardware support.
RB_INITNAME
An option allowing the specification of an init program (see init(8)) other than /sbin/init to be run when the system reboots. This switch is not currently available.
RB_KDB
Load the symbol table and enable a built-in debugger in the system. This option will have no useful function if the kernel is not configured for debugging. Several other options have different meaning if combined with this option, although their use may not be possible via the reboot system call. See ddb(4) for more information.
RB_NOSYNC
Normally, the disks are sync’d (see sync(8)) before the processor is halted or rebooted. This option may be useful if file system changes have been made manually or if the processor is on fire.
RB_RDONLY
Initially mount the root file system read-only. This is currently the default, and this option has been deprecated.
RB_SINGLE
Normally, the reboot procedure involves an automatic disk consistency check and then multi-user operations. RB_SINGLE prevents this, booting the system with a single-user shell on the console. RB_SINGLE is actually interpreted by the init(8) program in the newly booted system.
When no options are given (i.e., RB_AUTOBOOT is used), the system is rebooted from file "kernel" in the root file system of unit 0 of a disk chosen in a processor specific way. An automatic consistency check of the disks is normally performed (see fsck(8)).
