That misses the point.  I have rebooted sometimes just for a quick
change, possibly to try a different kernel, and intending to reboot
several times.  Then whoops! it starts a long fsck scan, not to repair
damage, but just because some counter went to zero.  What a waste.

It's like insisting on an oil change exactly every 3000 miles.  No,
sorry, I will wait until it is convenient for *me*, not the odometer.

So his question is, once the fsck has started, can he ^C to bomb it
off, or do anything else to skip what has started?
