Since the kernel output for SIGINFO is not disabled it still says it's
fsck.  Typical output will look something like:

load: 0.42  cmd: fsck_ffs 29214 [physio] 0.03u 0.02s 0% 496k
/dev/rvnd0c: phase 1: cyl group 4 of 7 (57%)

Since all other output from fsck goes to stdout, I think that's
reasonable.
