I got the idea from fcsk actually having to correct something on my root 
partition and then saying it needed to reboot, followed by actually 
rebooting. And this was last night with NetBSD 5.0_BETA.

To be more explicit, it don't reboot just because fsck is has been run, 
but if fsck needs to correct anything on the root partition it reboots.
