>Description:
Interupting (^C) fsck -p during auto boot does not stop booting.
The system continues to boot with the filesystems dirty.
^C should print
Boot interrupted.
and stop booting.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. turn off your machine without shutdown, :)
2. boot the machine,
3. press ^C during fsck.
>Fix:
This is probably because fsck is not a direct child process
of the /etc/rc shell.
Do not use rcorder and invoke fsck directly
from the root /etc/rc shell.
