if [ -x /sbin/fsck ]; then
	stat_busy "Checking Filesystems"
	if /bin/grep -qw quiet /proc/cmdline; then
		/sbin/fsck -A -T -C -a -t $NETFS $FORCEFSCK >/dev/null 2>&1

line 245..251 in /etc/rc.sysinit

fsck is running with -C which means it will display progress bars as
long as your fsck.* supports it.  I know ext2 and 3 do, I'm not sure
about the others.  You need to check your /etc/fstab to see if you've
turned off fs checks, and confirm you are actually using ext3.

Also, man 8 fsck, vi /etc/rc.sysinit, and google.com
