Did you even look at the script ?  I might be wrong here, but last
time I checked, it was not even in the "main" startup script, but in
/etc/init.d/checkfs.  Actually, the last time I looked, our "main" one
was not even in /etc/init.d.

I guess you also havent looked at many Distro's startup scripts ?
Do yourself a favour and look at /etc/rc.sysinit of mandrake or redhat.

Anyhow, I am sure we all have something better to worry about.
