    type 'reboot -n' without the quotes. The -n flag prevents the file
    system cache from being flushed. Some people have suggested that this
    option should be used as it could prevent possibly corrupted data being written back to disk.

    No need to reboot. Just log out of the shell with control-d or exit,
    and startup will continue in full multi-user mode.
