Hi All,
Once again, this stupid problem: fsck -p not working.

Right. It definitely should not, but it did for quite some time. However,
I noticed today, after setting up a 1.3alpha installation on a ZIP disk
for testing, that it apparently has disappeared. From /etc/rc:
echo "Automatic boot in progress: starting file system checks."
fsck -p
and that simply did what it should: check the root filesystem according to
/etc/fstab. Interestingly, however, Armen still had the problem:

Anyone know about a discrepancy here between 1.3alpha and -current (apart
from the usual -current changing daily, etc.)?
Best wishes,
Nico
