Oh, interesting.

Reading the manual, I see:

"""
     If service svc:/system/boot-config:default  is  enabled  and
     property  config/fastreboot_default  is  set to true, the -f
     option can be omitted.
"""

I guess this affects "reboot" and "init 6".

My next question is... if I disable fast reboot, I can still do it with
"reboot -f" but... can I do a fast reboot with "init 6"?. Conversely, if
I have enabled "fastboot" but I want a full reboot with "init 6", can it
be done? Without modifying the property, that is. Any other command?. I
am interested in the orderly shutdown of services that "init 6" does.

Interesting too the option to boot to concrete GRUB entries...

PS: Doing "init 5" usually shutdown the machine, but with OI 148 it
'halts' the computer, without powering off. I guess it is the same
"fastboot" handling in action, isn't it?.
