>Description:
	fsck_ffs does not work with filesystem names, i.e. "fsck /".
	I have included a patch to "src/sbin/fsck_ffs/preen.c" which
	fixes this by converting the given argument to a filesystem
	special device if necessary.
>How-To-Repeat:
	fsck /
	/ is not a character device
	CONTINUE? [yn]
>Fix:
	Apply the following patch in /usr/src/sbin/fsck_ffs.
