To add a node to a cluster, you can execute riak-admin cluster join [email protected] See [1] for more details. There is no need to reboot for the cluster to be formed; the nodes will talk amongst themselves and once they find each other, the cluster is up.
To start and stop my dev cluster, I wrote a quick bash function [2] to handle starting and stopping my local dev cluster. In production, you'd add Riak to the init scripts like you did with your single node. You could even tell init.d to not start the main cluster and instead execute your dev cluster if you'd prefer. If I were you, I'd remove (or at the very least, stop) the Riak instance you've got and walk through the Fast Track/Quick Start.
