Most of the time you can avoid this by run running devfsadm. As far
as the command goes, anything following the double-dash in the reboot
command is passed as a boot option. It would be the same as:

# halt
ok> boor -r

Note that you can pass any other valid boot options as well. Say you
want to initiate a jumpstart to upgrade a remote host, assuming
jumpstart services are in place:

# reboot -- "net - install nowin"

Shuts the system down and then does a reconfiguration boot
(which means the system regenerates its hardware configuration).

Yes, the system will shut completely down before rebooting,
and you will lose any network connections to it when that
happens.
