fsck at boot, skip a disk ?

Hi,

I just noticed something stupid of the Fedora boot.

One of my data drives went defect and I removed it from my system.
At boot, fsck stops and drops me a line (crtl-D, which will reboot) or I mount 
the filesystem read-only.
Neither one is the correct option in my case. I basically want to mount the 
still correct disks in their normal mode, than edit my fstab and simply 
reboot.
Is there a way to just skip the one disk that fails the fsck and simply 
continue without that disk ?

Now I need the rescue disk to fix this issue, which I think is a bit too much 
to solve a simple issue like this.

Perhaps I'm just not aware of other options. In case they exist I'd like to 
hear about them.

If there are no options, I hope someone will create those.

regards,
Marcel
