See the old man page for REBOOT(8), and the -n option.

REBOOT (8) 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NAME 
reboot - restart the operating system 

<snip>

OPTIONS 
-d Dump system core before rebooting. 

-n Avoid the sync(1). It can be used if a disk or the processor is on fire. 

-q Quick. Reboots quickly and ungracefully, without first shutting down 
running processes.
