No wonder I couldn't find it Paul.  You can grep for e2fsck in 
rc.sysinit, and never come up with the actual command line that does 
that.  Is e2fsck itself a binary or a script that could be easily 
fixed?

I've mentioned this before, can a bug be filed against e2fsck then?
In which case I'll let someone with patience for that broken interface 
bugzilla uses actually do the fileing of it.  Lifes too short as it 
is to spend all that time doing useless searches for duplicates it 
requires (but never finds) before you can actually *get* to the file 
a bug screens.  Once, maybe twice, should be sufficient.
