Does anyone have any ideas how I can proceed? Are you still in single user mode at this point? Well, I was. I have made a tiny bit of progress - I edited /etc/fstab and turned the fsck at boot time off for that drive, so I can boot normally now, just without that drive mounted. However, I still get the same error message from fsck_msdosfs.
