According to the cvs log for src/etc/rc.d/fsck, this should have been
fixed in revision 1.6 dated 2006-10-07, in response to PR 29822. This
change has been pulled up to the netbsd-2 and netbsd-3 branches, and
appears to be in netbsd-3.1. If it still doesn't work, then perhaps you
could figure out why.
