Ok, anyway the first diff was supposed to be this:
diff --git a/etc/rc b/etc/rc
index c88e13ce7ab..c8a25da7b42 100644
--- a/etc/rc
+++ b/etc/rc
@@ -349,7 +349,11 @@ if [[ -e /fastboot ]]; then
echo "Fast boot: skipping disk checks."
elif [[ $1 == autoboot ]]; then
echo "Automatic boot in progress: starting file system checks."
- do_fsck
+ if [[ -e /forceboot ]]; then
+ do_fsck -y
+ else
+ do_fsck
+ fi
fi
# From now on, allow user to interrupt (^C) the boot process.
so only giving user the choice of not editing /etc/rc.
fwiw. i heard FreeBSD has variable named "fsck_y_enable",
but i'm useless w/shell scripts, so i chose above..
