Hi Mike,

Looking in /etc/rc.sysinit, it appears that if you place:

AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK=yes

into /etc/sysconfig/autofsck

then the behaviour of the default reboot mode in the case of an unclean
shutdown toggles from "Press Y to force check" to "Press N to not force
check", which sounds like the behaviour you are after. (Observed on an
FC3 system).

Cheers, Ben
