you can avoid running fsck_msdos(8) on these partitions.  see fstab(5) for
details:

  Each configuration line/record in fstab has the format:
    fs_spec fs_file fs_vfstype fs_mntops fs_freq fs_passno
  ...

  The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine
  the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time.  The root
  filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesys-
  tems should have a fs_passno of 2.  Filesystems within a drive will be
  checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked
  at the same time to use parallelism available in the hardware.  If the
  sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and
  fsck(8) will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked.

so change the lines in your /etc/fstab to:

/dev/wd0f /c msdos rw 1 0
/dev/wd0g /d msdos rw 1 0
