Yes, this is exactly so:

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  70 Jan  7  2008 /path/to/root/etc/fstab

Contents of fstab:

server:/path/to/root    /       nfs     rw       0 0
/swap                   none    swap    sw       0 0


As you can see, I've been using this setup for over a year and this
is the first time something like this has happened.

The "etc/defaults/rc.conf" file has "fsck_flags=-p" and I haven't
changed them anywhere.
