Safe mode startup and Terminal commands

Starting up in Safe mode using the Shift key and starting in <command+S> single 
user mode you can issue the command to test the hd partition thusly: 
</sbin/fsck -fy> the test will proceed on the system and partition your in, BUT 
is it possible to command that the test be done on a different partition (other 
than the one your starting up in) and or on a different hd? What would the 
command be for this?

connected by 4 port LinkSys BEFSR41. 12 Gb hd in 4Gb and 8Gb partitions. 470
