Interesting.

This is actually the calls to fsck, I believe, and it is already
optional if you want to use fsck by modifying /etc/fstab.

What is the content of your /etc/fstab?  I would expect the fsck calls
to be quick if no partition was to be fsck-ed (aka the last number in
/etc/fstab is 0).  Does it work?

Happy hacking,
